So you can see the prodos partition with the utilties disk but not all...
Ok... if I understand this properly then this is what you will want to do... use SCSI Utilities to partition the drive... make them the sizes you want... then reguardless of whether they are smaller than 32MB or not, format them all ProDOS.... then run the GS OS installer from disk one.... install a good system with whatever drivers you need onto the main ProDOS partition you intend to boot from.... be sure to select HFS FST from them.... and install to the partition that you intend to leave as ProDOS....
Reboot to the hard drive.... select a ProDOS formated partition that is larger than 32MB (the OS will currently only see it as 32MB) and select the Erase Disk option from the Special menu and reformat the partion for HFS. You should then be able to use the partition to it's full capacity.
Thats how I set up my 350MB hard drive.
I really hope I understood your problem right.

what benjamin is trying to say is you are required to have a least one Prodos

Charles, I know about the partitions - my problem was/is not being able to get the GS/OS drivers put on the partition(s) (Heck, the SCSI Utilities disk doesn't recognize all the partitions!). On the HFS partition (once I get the GS/OS drivers on it), I *can* run GS/OS, since it is a IIgs. HFS is not the same as Macintosh software or system, FWIW.
