Can't partition my IBM drive for NT

Please Help! I have a Dual Processing NT Workstation with a IBM drive that I can't format or partition correctly. I am using FDISK from a windows 95 boot disk, and am running into this error message: Parameter format not correct. I originally formatted the disk in the scsi utility, but when I go to load NT I get the message that the disk format isn't correct.

Did you say yes to "large disk support" in fdisk?

We have the same trouble and isn't a problem of FAT32. The adaptec 2940UW id's the disk as a 8mb hd, and formats it, but NT will id the disk correctly, but only give acess to the first 1Mb to partition.
