With 9.2.2,  i launch Disk utility but it can't see  firewire disks....
 

I forgot you're using 9.2.2.

Not sure when full Firewire support was included.

Figure out what Firewire Enclosure you have.

See if it supports Drives larger than 130 GBs.

You'll need to do research here.

Your Yikes is a "glorified" B&W.

You probably have a lot of the same problems.

You could probably Reformat the Drive by putting it inside your Yikes.

Either alone or as a second drive.

Then Reformat from the Second Drive or a Boot CD.

In reality. You'd be far ahead to get a newer machine.

A 450 AGP Model is $150 or less.

A Sawtooth can run OS 9.x also.

I could back up  from the " back up" most of the files, than tryed to format whith disk control ice but , one of the partition  stayed  on the finder when i start  the process, the processing window don't  start so i must reboot.
A little miracle happened at reboot...do you want to initialize ...yes yes yes...and the firewire disk was back on the desktop.
It seems to work untill now but i'm wondering if it's not better to reformat..?
I can maybe install osx on one partition of my internal disk to get disk utility seeing my firewire disk, i got an install of 10.2.3 is it ok for that...?

Thanks very much for all the infos, links and help...
