partitioning disk (help a new guy!)

[helloyoung]

hello all!
i've got a new ibook with a 20gb drive and i'm having a problem partitioning my disk. when i load the disk utility in os9 or osx it tells me "can't initialize disk"
i'm at a loss. i haven't installed anything or done anything yet.
any help would be appreciated!!!!

thanks
