Problems Reformatting USB hard drive Fx4
 
Solved after booting the drive 15 times it finally loaded on the last try sorry for taking up space. :)

The drive in question was a WD 2 TB usb 3.0 HDD. Beware they seem a bit temperamental.

What does "sudo fdisk -l" (from the liveCD) produce ?.

Actually, try "sudo bash boot_info_script.sh" from a terminal on the liveCD (I think they ship it now). If not, go here and do as it says.
Either way, post the RESULTS.txt it generates.

Sorry by the time I saw your reply I had already edited my post. I don't know what was wrong I'm blaming my inexperience this is my first Linux install and WD's drives. Thanks for taking the time to comment. :)
