Partitioning Zip Disks -- Possible?

[Z5D31@ttacs3.ttu.edu (Captain Harlock)]

Is it possible to partition a Zip disk the way we can do hard drives? I've
tried (using a Zip drive hooked up to an Apple IIgs with High-Speed SCSI card
and a HFS-formatted 100 meg Zip disk) but the Advanced Disk Utility keeps
telling me the disk could not be partitioned.

Also, whenever my GS starts up and reads the Zip drive, I get the "Cannot
identify disk" message. I click Eject, it appears again, I click eject, and
then the icon appears on the desktop and from then on the system treats it like
an HFS hard drive. Odd.

Any ideas on how to solve both of these nagging problems?
