I just solved this problem for my HP Blackbird PC, and am now able to easily partition and format a new Seagate 2TB internal hard drive from 32-bit Vista that runs on this PC.
The solution was to upgrade my Nvidia 680i chipset drivers, available in an update package from Nvidia, not through Microsoft's normal driver and OS updating pages as far as I know. See the above URL for more details.
Could be the same issue you are having. When you looked for driver updates did you go to the manufactures website? If not I would start there.
There is also a link to a work around in the link above.
