Boot Camp Issue "help"

Ok, where do I begin? It's not the first time I use boot camp. I erased the boot camp partition which on a separate internal drive on my MP. When I opened the boot camp assistant to do what I have done multiple times in the past it gives me this error message, if you wanna call it that "You cannot partition an external disk drive". I only have internal drives!!! I cannot find the solution anywhere on the net, please help and thanks in advance guys. This is my first post by the way.😀

p.s. I even reformatted and reinstalled Leopard and problem still exists.

How is Leopard identifying the drives that you have in the Pro? Does it show them as internal or external (other than the drive you have OS X installed on)? I ask because somehow Boot Camp thinks you have an external drive. It shouldn't think that unless the operating system is identifying it as external.

Regards.

Regards.
 
Using disk utility It looks like it sees it as internal, I took a snapshot of it. How do I post it directly on to this body of text?
