Are you trying to partition the new disk after you have booted up with 
the old disk in the drive? I don't know but it sounds as if HDDriver 
is refusing to allow a media change in the drive.
I'm using a version of AHDI with internal and external hard disks, 
external Zip and CD Rom drives and I havn't had any problems at all.

Try booting with the unformatted disk in the drive and then format and 
partition it.

Also I think the author of HD Driver hangs around comp.sys.atari.st so 
you may want to post there as well.
