HDD problem.

Problem: I can not partition my HDD. Brand new. It gets to "verify" and for what seems like forever gets to 1% and then back down to 0%?

compy: Asus A7N8X-X
AMD Athlon XP 1100
3 sticks 256
Maxtor Diamond 8 ATA133 40Gb (old HDD) FAT32
Maxtor Diamond 10 ATA133 80Gb (new HDD)
Updated BIOS after 1st attempt.
Jumpers are correctly placed. Went as far as making it master and tryin by itself.
Using 3.5 floppy system disk.

What am i doing wrong?

Is there something i need to do to the HDD before partitioning it?

Thank you, for considering my Q.
