I know you'll hate me saying this, but Windows XP is good at recognizing drives. A drive will show up in Explorer even if it isn't partitioned, and you can format it right in Windows.

Suprising yeah, I'm guessing it just overheated or something. After a while Fdisk saw the drive, and Fdisk in Linux is... foreign to me. Couldn't get it to work, but it was a slackware edition so...
It works anyways, and XP is VERY wonderful at cleaning up your drives ;D. You're right though, after a while though it formatted.
EDIT: How do I create a linux partition for installing slackware?
