i have tried several other free programs but they all end up giving me errors..

using vista's built in hard drive formatter i can format the drive to ntfs up to 2Tb
which i was hoping to have a little extra space to hopefully make a ntfs partition however i'll take what i can get at the moment... and as i'm sure everyone knows.. windows only supports fat32 drives up to 32Gbs

so has anyone else done this already? or any suggestions on what i should try?
This tool will do the trick:
