Did you use that nasty horrible software that comes with it?  If so,
that is very likely the problem.

Does your motherboard support LBA or ECHS translation for EIDE drives,
and are you using an EIDE controller card?  If not, you can't format it
as FAT, it has to be HPFS.  If so, it should format quite happily as FAT.
What hard drive controller are you using?  What BIOS?  What is the 1e
hard drive?

My 1.2Gb Conner required that I change motherboard to one supporting
LBA translation before it could be used properly (by either OS/2 or DOS,
without using nasty bits of software).
