Who can help me?

I have connected an external AV-drive to my computer, for video editing.
Its a Seagate Barracuda 9GB SCSI-drive.

My computer sees this drive as D, but when I click D with my mouse
Windows95 shows the following message: 'A device connected to the system
doesn't work'. Windows95 doesn't want to use my drive!

I tried formatting the drive: first I created an extended DOS partition
using Fdisk and next I tried creating a logical drive. Here's the problem:
Fdisk creates no less than 6 logical drives on my 9GB disk! I want only 1!
How can I achieve  this?

I can use my 'SCSI-select-utility' when I start-up my computer. With this
utility I can choose my drive and format it. That takes about two hours
(sounds hopeful) but when he is done, Windows95 still doesn't want to use
my disk (same error-message).

What can I do? Who can help me?
All I want is to use my disk as one 9 GB AV disk under Windows 95, and not
as 6 smaller disks.

My system:
Pentium Pro 200 Mhz
32 MB RAM
Adaptec AHA-2940 Ultra Wide PCI SCSI Host Adapter
2 GB Seagate SCSI-drive
Bios: Adaptec AHA-2940 Ultra / Ultra W Bios v 1.23
External:
9 GB Seagate Barracuda SCSI-drive (AV)
active terminator
