what am i doing wrong?

got 2 partitions, one to record on

Partitions aren't going to cut it, especially on a laptop hard drive. Most laptop hard drives are too slow on their own for Pro Tools to function properly, and then when you add the complication of sharing a physical drive with the operating system, you're just asking for errors.

You need a dedicated 7200rpm hard drive to record Pro Tools audio sessions, as recommended on the compatibility pages (which are referenced and recommended to read on page 3 of the getting started guide), and in the getting started guide itself, with this section (also from page 3) under Hard Drive Requirements

Avoid Recording to the System Drive
Recording to your system drive is not recommended.
Recording and playback on a system
drive may result in lower track counts and fewer
plug-ins.
*Digidesign does not recommend recording
to the system drive. Record to a system drive
only when necessary.

The "system drive" they are talking about is the single physical disk that you have split into partitions.

You will need to get an external firewire drive with the Oxford 911 or 922 chipset that spins at a rotational speed of 7200rpm, just like the compatibility page recommends.

OK, but...

What part of "Avoid recording to the system drive" did you not understand?

Sounds like you plugged it in after Pro Tools was started.

Restart Pro Tools. Better yet, restart the computer with the drive attached.
