Fuzz wins this thread. I didn't even remember the 2TB partition limit. Isn't 4096 the default cluster size though? (That being said, it would still have to be setup as GPT...)
I'm not 100% sure, but I think there still might be a way to recover the data. Fuzz, you can correct me if I am wrong, but if Windows can't read the drive without formatting it, could OP use a bootable Linux CD or something to get at the data?
