This steps trying to Format External  Hard disk
Type this command on command prompt "fdisk -l"
after pin hard disk to pc
again type " fdisk -l"
u can see a new partion similar to "/dev/...." is Partition name
(/dev/sdc...)
note that partition id
then type "mkfs.vfat -l  /dev/...( that new partition's name) "
Do it care fully because ur doing format external hard disk. If any mistakes
