I've tried alot to format it to no success. Diskpart does not recognize it in "list disk" windows can not format it, neither can the DVD leopard option described above. Tried a few partition managers, non works. Am getting frustrated and thinking of crushing the drive. Any help will be greatly appreciated. It has a GPT partition protection on it. Thanks.

Bought a previously opened harddrive off the shelf at a store. The drive had this GPT protection enabled. This, combined with the create partition primary worked. wonders. Thanks a heap.
