I believe I have formatted the 50GB partition, but nothing on the format functionality is able to help me here.

I have been trying most of the functionalities, nothing to say, create partition and mount so that the OS can see it.

Above is a transcript of some of the things that I have been doing, as you can see the 59GB free space, I need all of it mounted to a point. Please someone help me.
