I can't explain exactly how to do whatever it is you need to do, but in order to create partitions, make sure the drive is not mounted and then use the command sudo cfdisk /dev/hda. This should give you options to delete, resize, create partitions of various types and sizes. Make sure you choose partition type "linux" when creating a new one, and save the partition table.
After doing this you should reboot to allow your machine to adjust to the new table.
Then you'll need to format the partition. I recommend reiserfs or ext3 file system, but unfortunately I don't think DSL has the tools to format reiserfs (you could use Knoppix to do this). If your new partition is hda1, the command to format ext3 would be sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/hda1
