Formatting 3TB Drive for MAC OSX 10.6

I am trying to format my new 3TB harddrive for my Mac computer. 

 

Everytime I go into disc utilities, select the new harddrive, go to the erase tab and select MS-DOC(FAT)  I get a notification that says “Disc Erase Failed with the error: Invalid Request”

 

I then tried going on the partition tab, selecting 1 partition, selecting MS-DOS(FAT) format and clicking apply and I get the same error message.

 

What am I doing wrong??

Can’t not be done… largest partition for FAT32 is 2TB

use NTFS-3G  on your Mac, that’s of course if you are thinking about using with windows and mac

if just want to use with PS3 or Xbox then two partitions will be required
