I have tried to reformat on Ubuntu using gparted, in Windows using their tool, and OSX using Disk Utility. I have also attempted by using the terminal but also failed there.

When I verify disk using Disk Utility, I get the following output:

Verifying volume “REDSTRIPE”    
** /dev/disk2s1    
** Phase 1 - Preparing FAT    
** Phase 2 - Checking Directories    
** Phase 3 - Checking for Orphan Clusters    
168 files, 4507316 KiB free (1126829 clusters)    
MARK FILE SYSTEM CLEAN? no    

***** FILE SYSTEM IS LEFT MARKED AS DIRTY *****   
Error: This disk needs to be repaired. Click Repair Disk.

But I am unable to repair disk.

See OSX examples below:
