How to install very large new disk

[Pete Clapham]

Hi, all --

I want to use 2 1.5 Tb disks with Intrepid.  Tried to install Intrepid 
on the computer with disks in place; Install saw them, but wouldn't 
format them.  Loaded OS with 500 Gb disks in place, no problem.  Added a 
1.5 Tb disk, but gparted doesn't see it.

Is 1.5 Tb too large for Intrepid?  Should I be using a file system other 
than ext3 for a disk this size?  Is there another way besides gparted to 
see a new (unformatted) disk? 

Thanks for your help.

cheers,
pete
