[ubuntu] "the ext4 file system creation in partition #1 of SCSI3 (0,0,0) (sda) failed."

I just got a new hard drive yesterday and I am trying to install Ubuntu as my primary operating system off a bootable usb drive. It successfully installed the first time and after I installed the updates, my computer froze up where it says to reboot and I had to force my pc off. When I turned it back on it kept saying error after the grub screen.
I then reformatted my hard drive and I can get into ubuntu live but every time I try to install, it says "the ext4 file system creation in partition #1 SCSI3 (0,0,0) (sda) failed."

I have an ASUS G1Sn if that helps
