I know /g/ isn't my personal tech support, I just wanted your opinions on this hard drive I'm dealing with.
It's a 2.5 Toshiba 500GB HDD. I've tried formatting many, many times and it seems to work in Windows but not OSX. I need to format it HFS, but I'm getting these errors:
>Writebuffer: pwrite input/output error
>newfs_hfs: write (sector 0): invalid argument
>file system formatter failed
It just keeps throwing errors. Strangely it formatted fine on another macbook, but I can't confirm I would actually be able to install homOSeX.
Do you think it's a problem with the SATA cable or is the drive fucked?

Jesus Christ if this isn't blatant b8 you will have a terrible life being this fucking retarded.

Don't worry, I'm almost there anyway
If it counts I'm doing this for a friend

Trysudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M
on a UNIX box. (/dev/sda is the special code for Toshiba HDDs)

I'll give it a try, but considering I already dban-d the shit out of it I doubt it will help.
Thanks
