it wont format it with a quick format, and a normal way, goes all the way to the end then says cannot complete format. Why is this?

what program you using? FDISK? You need the FDISK with 60gb+ support to format 60gb+ drives.

Do a low level format. You can usually get a program from the drives manufacturer to do it.
