Never let a daughter within a mile of an idiot - it's catching!
The drive is probably incorrectly formatted - an idiot can't format a
drive, let alone do anything useful.
Since all data are lost, reformat the drive properly, making sure that
you delete any partitions and recreate them with fdisk.
Then the install should be idiot-proof.
