External HD for Time Machine under Monterey

How can I add an external HD (FireWire) to a new iMac (24", M1) OS Monterey?

I cannot erase the HD - always get error, the operation failed. I cannot mount the disk4s3.

TimeMachine does not recognise the disk -how can I install Time Machine?

If you use a Hub try plugging the drive into the USB port on its own
