Seagate 1.5 TB Drive

Yesterday, I received a new Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 1.5TB Hard Drive ST31500341AS - Serial ATA 7200/32MB/SATA-3G. I run a Vista Machine with Dual AMD 3GHZ Processors and ran into problems when creating the partition for this drive. It takes a long time to format/partition the drive, I guess, due to it's size. When the format reached format: 73%, it just hung there all night. I googled on this and found one other person had this problem and it was resolved by enabling the second SATA controller. I don't have a second SATA controller so I ended up formatting it on another machine via a SATA drive enclosure using USB 2. Not quite the resolution I was looking for, but it worked ok. I still would hate to do this again but it worked. I guess sometimes it's whatever works. Why do I have such a large drive you ask? Well, I do a lot of data intensive programming and my 500GB drive is 2/3 full allready!
