How do I thoroughly wipe a corrupted drive and reformat on Debian?

I bought a brand new 4TB Western Digital Blue HDD, which is connected to my NAS running Debian via usb with an external HDD enclosure. I used the following commands to setup the drive: (parted) mklabel gpt (parted) mkpart primary 0% 100% sudo mkfs.exfat -n 4tbBackup /dev/sdc It seemed to work okay on the Linux machine, but when I plugged it into my Windows PC, it showed up under Disk Management as an unallocated 2048GB partition and another unallocated partition with the rest of the disk on it. I tried switching to gdisk, and it immediately gave me this error: GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 1.0.6 Warning: Partition table header claims that the size of partition table entries is 0 bytes, but this program supports only 128-byte entries. Adjusting accordingly, but partition table may be garbage. Caution: invalid main GPT header, but valid backup; regenerating main header from backup! Warning: Invalid CRC on main header data; loaded backup partition table. Warning! Main and backup partition tables differ! Use the 'c' and 'e' options on the recovery & transformation menu to examine the two tables. Warning! Main partition table CRC mismatch! Loaded backup partition table instead of main partition table! Warning! One or more CRCs don't match. You should repair the disk! Main header: ERROR Backup header: OK Main partition table: ERROR Backup partition table: OK Partition table scan: MBR: MBR only BSD: not present APM: not present GPT: damaged Found valid MBR and corrupt GPT. Which do you want to use? (Using the GPT MAY permit recovery of GPT data.) How can I totally reset the drive so that I can clear all of this header corruption out and reformat it safely to exFAT?
