First of all: Which edition of BeOS do you have? Personal or Professional?
It's always a good idea to turn off PNP in the BIOS and *not* to boot from Windows.
If there is an issue then it's likely not with the driver, but with the controller: BeOS works only with some UDMA66 controllers, some SCSI and almost no UDMA100 controllers (there is a special driver for Promise Ultra100 now).

You cannot partition a drive with the boot loader.
The boot loader is designed to BOOT partitions, not create them.
If you need to CREATE a partition, use a partitioning tool. BeOS R 5.0 comes with a free, albeit crippled, version of Partition Magic that allows you to create a BFS partition.
I've used Ranish Partition Manager and Partition Magic (the full version) and both work rather nicely.
I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to do, but if you want to install BeOS:
1. Create a BFS partition
2. Install BeOS to that partition
Be's OS loader is pretty intuitive.

In your original post, you said "i tried it with a partion fat32". FAT32 is a Microsoft file system intended for use with Windows.
You also said you tried it "with no partion". If you have no partition, you have nothing to boot.
Just create a BFS partition and install BeOS onto it.
