first = create partition, then you create a file system which means you format: if you want to create a partitions on a new disk, you use can use a tool called fdisk in linux.

then you can create a new low-level filesystem on the partition using the mkfs command. or you can use other utilities like partition magic. also you can use other tools to do the jobs of one or both of these programs. Sometimes filesystems develop errors, in which case checking their integrity with fsck is critically important
