Install the SeaChestTools:

apt install seachest |
Confirm you have the right drive:
|
1 |
openSeaChest_Info –d /dev/sd<Number> –i |
Confirm your drive supports 4096:
|
1 |
openSeaChest_Format –d /dev/sd<Number> —showSupportedFormats |
The next step will DESTROY ALL DATA on the disk. Reformat it as 4kn. Notice: If the format hangs don’t interrupt it. Leave it for 1-2 hours. The process will complete in this time.
