Not sure how Vista does it, but with XP you have to right click a slightly different area in disk manager (the one that lists media, eg "Disk 0") in order to partition the drive, *then* you're able to format. It's not an intuitive system at all, you'd think Mickeysoft would offer to partition the drive if you wanted to format it...
