I plugged my brand new WD Passport Drive
[http://www.wdc.com/en/products/Products.asp?DriveID=364] on my F8
box, and it appeared just fine (I had done this before -- I had even
reformatted the partition with NTFS with Windows XP). I wanted to
remove the single 250G NTFS partition and create two smaller ones, and
reformat them as ext3 and HFS for my girlfriend's MacBook.

GParted identified the device just fine, and I had just deleted the
original partition and created two smaller ones (110G and 120G),
unformatted. When I hit the "apply changes" button, GParted told me it
could not see the device anymore. Indeed, it couldn't be seen
anywhere. The disk was not mounted anymore, and did not appear as a
device on GNOME's nautilus.

What does fdisk say about the device? You can have fdisk write a new,
empty partition table to start fresh and then create your new
partitions..
