2GB SATA Format errors

I decided to add a SATA Hitachi Inspire disk to my Windows Vista Premiu
32 bit PC and am having trouble formatting the hard drive

I wanted to have one large disk but could not get it to format.
partitioned the disk and was able to format one partition with NTF
465.75GB. The other is a 1397.26 BB "Raw". When I try to NTFS forma
it it works on it for a while and then quits on me then trows an error!
:cry
The lovely error I get is "Logical Disk Manager" tells me " The Forma
did not complete successfully" Microsoft can you please use a GUID fo
all error messages and subtract from the pay check of the softwar
developer who caused the error to be thrown:devil:?

OK now the Christian takes over. Please use the GUID to give meaningfu
help to you masses like me . When we visit the your Microsoft site
we could tell you about the GUID error we get and then you could improv
the quality of your code.

In the mean time, can anyone tell me how I can format the disk so I ca
get use out of my $150

A sad Microsoft Customer
:cry
