That's interesting. There were no jumpers on the drive, were there? Sometimes drive manufacturers or resellers will ship drives with jumpers installed, as some computers need to have the drive configured as either a 2-device master or slave (or cable select). The 2400's hard drive is on its own bus, so it's a single master (so no jumpers should be installed).

I decided in the end to get a new cf card (8GB) and a new cf-ide adapter to try to solve this one, as the software upgrade solved nothing. It transpires that the cf-ide adapter I have sourced has a master/slave select jumper (standard 1+2/ 2+3 pins).

From what was stated above, I probably should just remove the jumper altogether, right?
