Well i've reformatted the usb drive a few times and I have no idea how to format the hard drive. There is a broken install of Ubuntu on the hard drive where the boot-arg is broken.

I guess it could just be my pen drive but im not really sure...

255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14593 cylinders...

Thanks for the quick reply, I've tried to use the commands you have given but it says that /dev/sda5 is being locked by a specific program. Not sure how to get round this. Any ideas?
