    some one had issues with a ntfs partition, might be worth formatting on your pc and than trying.
    There are also some Linux commands to format - might be worth a forum search to try before pulling it out.

    The HDD ideally should be un-partitioned before installing. Save yourself time, remove it, connect to pc and delete all partitions.

    that was where the drive was at, in the end i took it back out, formated on apc to ntfs and put it back in and it recognised straight away and installed withought issue.

    thanks for the help
