formatted a 1.5tb HD into 3 partitions, vista can only see 2 of them...?
Successfully formatted a 1.5tb sata hd into 3 separate NTFS partitions (500/500/396) using an XP sp3 32bit pc; moved the drive to a Vista 64bit pc, and only 2 of the partitions are usable, the 3rd (396mb) has a driveletter, but is 'raw', not formatted, and the Vista os cannot successfully format it, so its useless wasted space. any idea why?

You need to go to your disk management tool and remove the partition and recreate it. Windows did not mount it correctly and it is a common occurrance. Once you do this, it will assign another drive assignment and a usable partition.
