I think you've hit the nail on the head Kris - sounds very much like the 
1024 cylinder boundry problem. Could it also be that there are already 
the maximum number of primary partitions on the drive ? Does this user 
have boot manager on the drive ? If so it that at the start, end or in 
the middle of the drive ?
