Hi there Mac-people
![Cool 8)](http://macos9lives.com/smforum/Smileys/default/cool.gif)
I couldn't find this problem being discussed already, so here goes:
I recently added a Sonnet Tempo card to my G4 Digital Audio (Dual 566 MHz) and connected a new 120GB Samsung Evo 850 SSD to it. The plan is to make this my new system drive. Now, when I start OS 9 and Drive Utility (the programs have German names here, but I hope you get it), I can select the SSD, choose partitions and click "Initialize". Under OS X 10.3.9, the Drive Utility program recognizes the model and size of the SSD and I can select it, choose partitions and click "Initialize" as well. BUT, once clicked, nothing happens - the spinning rainbow circle of doom appears as well as a progress bar filled with diagonal blue and white lines (but no actual progress bar), and it just stays like that. Same with OS 9, the circle being black and white instead of rainbow, of course
I tried it first with OS X, waited for over an hour, then reboot, tried with OS 9, waited just as long, then again reboot to OS X again and left it running over night (at least 8 hours). But when I checked again this morning, nothing had changed. Still rainbow and blue/white/diagonal.
Now, I have to mention, at the third try it kind of recognized 2 different partitions, but they were greyed out and couldn't be selected from the list on the right side of the drive utility window. And, they didn't show up in the finder/desktop. Also, in the system profiler, the Sonnet card is recognized (but named Seritek something), the SCSI tab is empty, and the ATA tab shows nothing but a search that also doesn't end

It seems, the Mac ran into an error almost at the beginning of the initializing process and just froze there

What's wrong? Any ideas? How to fix this?
I'm not a computer pro, so I'm sorry if I made some stupid mistake along the way, but I think I did everything as described to me before by you guys...
Thanks alot
