Isn't this because of the 128GB limitation of the B&W? If one of those two partitions crosses the limit, DON'T WRITE ANYTHING TO IT, you may wreck both partitions. You can install "Overdrive" to safely mount and write to all partitions: <http://mac.profusehost.net/overdrive/index.html> Or alternatively there is Intech Hi-Cap extension, or use the Open Firmware commands here: <http://nanchatte.wordpress.com/2008/04/27/128gb-large-hdd-lba48-support-on-the-g4-cube-with-leopard/ > It's starting to sound like something's wrong with the enclosure?
