Well the command finished, took about 48 hours to complete, there was no
output when it finished. So I deleted the existing partition, then re
partitioned again and tried to format, results was it formatted 7gb out of
468gb formatted and then said it had completed. It is currently hooked up to
a windows box (to prove its not the PC) and its not fairing very well.
I am going to contact Seagate (which is another reason I hooked it up to
windows, they don't list Linux as a supported OS) and see what they say as it
is under a year old.
