[QUOTE="baggss, post: 885598, member: 6762"] Ok, that wouldn't be it then. Have you simply tried formatting the drive via the erase option and then partitioning it? It shouldn't make a difference but I have seen Disc utility be flakey when partitioning without formatting. I mention this as I recently installed a 1Tb drive in my G5. I partitioned it but Disc Utility got weird and the drive wouldn't partition (it failed). Once I erased it, then formatted it, then partitioned it, it worked fine. [/QUOTE]
