Can you try using something else to do the partitioning and
formatting? E.g. PartitionMagic, or the SystemRescueCD, or Knoppix,

something like that? That would give you a bit more info to go on...e


Nope, Ubuntu is all I have.

If you don't want to help to get more informations for the problem,
nobody can help you. What is the problem to download Knoppix
or the SystemRescueCD?

XP works fine with the drive. I cannot
seem to mount and windows drive.

I am not a native english speaker, but this sentence
seems to be grammatically wrong, and makes no sense for
me. What do you want to say with this?

No need to get rude.

Windows XP works fine with the drive, as does PCLinuxOS. Ubuntu will just not mount it, nor will the Partition Manager start up.
