well you can quick format it after you've partioned it... You don't need to format from top (slow).
Hmm... You can't have more than 2Gb partions under FFS? I have a 30Gb splitted in 10 partions... Wich means I've got 3Gb on each... :-?
I've had it for a year now... Haven't been a error, it hasn't even validated once...
