Wierd problem, cannot format past 2tb on windows 2003 r2

Wow been a while......

I've just built a new fileserver using a Sun 3510 disk array connected to an hp -dl380 g5 server using a fibre channel connection. The array has 12x 300gig drives in a Raid 5 configuration totalling close to 3tb's of disk space. However in windows, I can only format 2tb's and the last terabyte will not format. I don't even have the option. Is this a limitation of standard edition ( i always thought NTFS had 16tb limit)? Any insight would be appreciated.

and here is the why

Oh yah, hey gti, how are you?

Pretty good, I've been crazy busy going through a massive server upgrade, everything from simple print servers all the way to a new exchange and sql cluster. Exchange beat the living tar out of me. Thank god it's almost done.

heheh there is a reason I am not an exchange mvp.... :D :D:D
