Tom, John

thank You for Your reply.

John, I think, the problem occurs before I am able to format the disk
and create a file-system. I am erven not able to create partitions on
the HD.

As I said, it worked fine and then quit when a kernel update occurred.
I'm tempted to go back to dual booting with 10.0 to get it to work.

Looks like we have a serious problem here. Which additional
information or actions are necessary to get the problem fixed ?

Hi Chris,
Down and dirty way. Pop the drive out of the external enclosure, open
your computer case and attach it there. If it is IDE remember to set the
jumper correctly. Format, uninstall the drive and put it back into the
external enclosure. I had to do this a couple of times when the file
system was messed up. Don't know why it made a difference but it worked.
