Windows 8 will not do a quick format on a brand new 2 TB drive after initializing the drive. I get an error message stating that the parameter in incorrect. Was using an MBR format. I tried it through Disk Management and also Diskpart running as Administrator.

I had to use Paragon Hard Disk Manager 12 to get it to format. Is Windows 8 broken?
