I've had the same problem and discovered that fdisk will only make a max
partition size of around 130GB. The only way around it I've found is to
format the disk during a graphical install. I've heard rumors that a
'fixed' fdisk exists but don't know. Also some other partitioning tool
may do what you want.
The only "fixed" fdisk I know of was "fixed" in the sense of what you
do to a pet you do not wish to procreate. The "fixed" versions have
rather artificial limitations on the number of partitions you can have
on the disk.
