You're missing the point. Linux doesn't recognise it at all. I can't format a drive if the system can't see it.
Unlike my older USB external drive that creates a device /dev/sdd1 on the desktop which I can then mount.
Was there anything in the output of the kernel ring buffer (i.e. running the command dmesg?) Without that it's pretty hard to diagnose any specifics of why it wasn't working.
