A new disk doesn't have a partition table. That's what the 'error' is telling you.

You generally don't mount a disk, you mount a filesystem. Filesystems are typically created in a partition. You need to create a partition table, then a partition, then you format that partition with a filesystem of your choice. You mount that filesystem.
