    Have you tried formatting it with Disk Utility? (look in the top menu when you reach the part where it won't read.)

    As much as this sucks, I'd head back into the machine and check the connections. Disk Utility on the OSX discs should at least be able to see the drive, even if it's unformatted. :)
