Issues formatting and mounting internal HDD

Howdy, completely new to the whole Linux thing as I figured fuck it why not after I decided to wipe my bloated copy of windows.
Working good so far, only issue is only 2 of my drives show up under "Devices" in the file manager.
The 3rd drive (Being the largest and only HDD) shows up in the console when I use sudo fdisk -l
But I am unable to format the drive using mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb as it gives the error "Permission denied while trying to determine filesystem size"
Any help would be appreciated of course.
