USB Format Failed

I am trying to create a Windows 7 USB boot drive out of a USB stick. It is 1tb and comes up as General UDisk USB Device in my device manager. I am using Rufus 2.10.973. Once I press start, the format begins. It sits on "Clearing MBR/PBR/GPT structures..." for a while before displaying an alert. "Error: Error while partitioning drive."
What do?

I am using the following settings in Rufus:

Device
(E:)[1TB]
Partition scheme and target system type
MBR partition scheme for BIOS or UEFI-CSM
File system
NTFS
Cluster size

New volume label
WINAIO

Format Options
Check device for bad blocks (Y, 4 Passes)
Quick format (N)

Create extended label and icon files (Y)

Advanced Options

The log is as follows (Note: Cleared before pressing start)
