Try running DiskWarrior. It may see and be able to make a new directory 
for the corrupted partition. DW is the most indispensable disk utility 
available. If not, you may need to format the whole drive again.

Make sure its jumper is set to MASTER. If so, you may need to run DW to 
recognize the drive and install a new directory.
