I don't know if your problem is the same as mine, but I recently had a similar issue trying to partition a disk which came up in UDMA100 mode; it wouldn't work until I forced it to UDMA66. I think my problem came from the disk being attached with a less-than-optimal cable, but I haven't researched it further, as I don't need it to be particularly fast. Just a suggestion, though - all standard disclaimers about variations in your mileage apply. Good luck, -Jan Christian
