    hmm I had an issue somewhat similar. When it does a format it doesn't ever REALLY format. If you can manage to get it hooked up to your computer again you run a windows xp installation disk. Then use the delete partition option for the drive in question. Like completely wipe it out with that. Then you may be able to start over with the tutorial.

    Or even just cross your fingers and try to put it into the xbox after erasing the drive. Since the drive will be COMPLETELY blank the xbox might recognize it and request to format it. This is all theoretical I haven't tried it myself, but hey even if it doesn't work that fluently at least you'll have a completely wiped drive and partition; which will leave you in a much better position than I think you're in now.

    No problem. Again though make sure you use a windows xp installation disk I'm not so sure any partition programs will do it properly. I could be wrong, but As before at least you'll have a completely wiped drive so that you can start again from the beginning. Instead of being stuck up a creek with no paddle.

    Do a format of the drive using windows to ntfs after it has been undone first, you can connect it via sata or sata to usb
    you can also use disk management to clear partitions and start fresh
