LVM & device not found

I have an extra hard disk in my server that was formatted with extfs3 and mounted in the filesystem.  The drive has nothing on it and I'm not learning about setting up LVM partitions.  So I unmounted the partition /dev/sda1 and ran the command "pvcreate /dev/sda" but it tells me "Device /dev/sda not found".  Can't I just put the whole drive under LVM instead of just a partition?
