Mounting a new hard drive (sda1) to my existing filesystem

Question 1

I tried to read some posts regarding mounting a new hard drive, but I am facing some problem. My new hard drive is sda1. The output of sudo fdisk -l is:

sudo fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sdb: 999.7 GB, 999653638144 bytes

What should be done to add this new sda1 hard drive on booting up? What should be added in the /etc/fstab file? I have not performed any partition on the new sda1 drive. I need help on how to proceed from scratch and can't afford to take any risk. Please help!

Question 2

A possible recommendation, which will mount sda1 at system startup with read-write permissions for you and your group, and read-only permissions for others, might be adding this line to /etc/fstab:

UUID=<ID-NO-OF-SDA1>   /media/<Your-User-Name>/<Label-Of-SDA1>   ntfs   defaults,auto,nls=utf8,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=002,fmask=113   0   0

And if you don't have any plans for a shared use of this drive with Windows, you can prefer using EXT4 format and then add this line instead:

UUID=<ID-NO-OF-SDA1>   /media/<Your-User-Name>/<Label-Of-SDA1>   ext4   nodev,nosuid   0   2

Note: You can get the UUID and Label of SDA1 using GParted.
