Comment (by Luposian):
Right now, the drive is zero'd (zeros written across the entire drive).
When I go into Haiku disk utility, it sees only the main drive with no
partitions or format information at all. Can I use Haiku's disk utility
to do what I need (if so, what do I do, in what order?) or do I need to
partition/format the disk from another OS first?
If the latter (partition/format drive in another OS first), when I come
back to Haiku, what do I do, in what order?
I hate to sound so dense, but running Active@ KILLDISK takes over an hour
each time I run it and I only use it, to make sure the drive is completely
clean, with no other partition/format info munging things up when I try
installing Haiku again.
I never used to have this kinda trouble before... why now? I used to be
able to just go in, initialize a partition for BFS, and install Haiku.
Simple as that. Now it doesn't work that easily and I can't figure out
why.
