You probably just formatted with an incompatible filesystem. It would be helpful to know which option you chose, but just make sure it's ex-FAT, and not FAT16/32.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I went with the default and apparently it was the right one because the drive popped up to mount and I was able to copy files to it. Thanks for the assistance though I appreciate it. Good to know for the future
I hope no one is typing a long response right now, I -think- I figured it out. It was KDE I wanted not dolphin and after fiddling about I -think- it should work now. It at least popped up as a drive
