That would be my primary guess. Also, some drives used some non-standard

interesting

HFSX/HFS+ are certainly NOT a limiting factor.

I think we are all in agreement here :)

Same here, Mac OS X 10.3.7 has no issues with partitions bigger than
128GB in HFS+ or HFSX. However, there is something else to be checked:
do you have an old-style disk partitioning system with an HFS
wrapper file system around the HFS+ file system? If so, maybe there's
a size limitation for the HFS file system. You may have to nuke the
entire drive, and format with a non OS9 backwards compatible wrapper-free
HFS+
Also, try w/o checking the OS9 disk driver installation option when
formatting.

now thats an idea, ok I will try that
