If they mount under OSX you will need to make sure are logged in as admin or even root and change the permissions for the partitions under the get info option also.
You might have further success if you start your machine up from the System CD that came with the computer and running disk utility from there.
Failing that there might be reason to suspect that you have done nothing wrong and that the drive itself is faulty.
Well it's a start!

Hi, I've a new Western Digital extermal firewire disk. It isn't recognsed and doesn't mount in OSX. However it was recognized at first but my attempt at disk utilities partition failed (it hung). SInce then no recognition, nor by Disc Utility.
I OS9 Tech Tool recognised two three of the partitions, and I was able to remount them. But now they appear as Locked read only! I cant reinitialize the disc in Tech Tool.
In OSZ they still do not appear.
What on earth should I do?
