problems with 2 TB FAT 32 border

I created a 2,00 TB HD in virtualbox and tried to execute fdisk on it. It showed me 5 MB of free space and, you guessed right, created a 5 MB partition on the beginning of the partition.

As a next I created a 1,99 TB HD in virtualbox and tried to execute fdisk on it. It had 4.273.492.459 sectors. FDISK shows the following: Partition c:1, active, PriDOS, 2.086.672 Mbytes, System FAT32 L, Usage 100$% and then: Total disk space is 2.086.669 Mbytes (1 MByte = 1048576 bytes. When I try to format this 1,99 TB HD after a reboot, I get an error message Invalid Drive! Aborting. [Error 61]

So I created a 3,00 TB HD in vmware and tried to execute fdisk on it. It showed me - guess - 974.851 Mbytes available space and created a partition of this size. Trying to format it gave the message: Invalid drive! Aborting. Error 61 So fdisk seems "to see and work" with 2 TB but is unable to handle it, but on the other side it can handle (at least a little) the rest size).

Please check! Thx.
