[comp.sys.mac.system] Where did my partition go?

I recently purchased an 80MB Cutting Edge external hard disk, which I
divided into two partitions using the software that came with the
disk. All was well until I rebooted. The computer would only mount the
partition containing the system folder. The second partition was
nowhere to be found. I was able to mount the second partition using
Disk First Aid (or whatever Apple's little ambulance is called).
ambulance is called).

Firstly, does anybody know why the partition without the system
folder, and can somebody please tell me what to do about it.

Secondly, I would like to know more about third party partitioning and
formatting software. I would like to have partitioning software that
lets me password-protect my partitions and lest me resize them
dynamically without erasing everything in sight. I would also like it
to mount partitions automatically.
