Forgot to mention XBMCLive was booted from a usb pen and then installed to the internal hard drive.

From that log all I can readout is that HAL doesn't notice any drives. This indicates a serious error in the subsystems, or hw failure.
You better try a full ubuntu (live will suffice) and see if it's hw failure. if it's not then reinstallation of XBMC Live would be next step.

I have tried connecting the drive to a windows pc and although it doesn't appear in my computer it does show up in computer management but requires formatting.
Is there any way I can get it working without reformatting? I don't want to lose nearly 500gb of media.

Unfortunately the same thing happened to me. I found using Partition magic on my Windows Machine with the USB drive attached the only answer. It could recover some of the files. I've tried this twice and once all the files were recovered, the time I lost quite some files to garbled filenames.
Basically the mistake is grounded in less than awesome NTFS support in the Linux Subsystem. I recommend you to shift to ext2 filesystem. That will save you some headache in the future.

Ok I think I can safely assume that it is XBMC that is corrupting my hard drive.
I have reformatted the drive to NTFS and plugged it into my Asrock but it still doesn't show up. I have also tried connecting a usb pen formatted in FAT32 and get the same result.
I loaded up Ubuntu and connected both drives and they both show up on the desktop.
So it has to be something in XBMC that is not mounting the drive correctly, also I'm pretty sure this happened just after I updated to the latest SVN.

Same problem too.
Since SVN 23164 USB drives won't mount by XBMC.
