HDToolBox might complain that unit is not a disk, but "type 7". This propably because the CF card, which is running in IDE-mode, reports itself as a removable device. This caused HDToolBox not to save disk parameters correctly, if I recall correctly. There's a patch on aminet that should fix it and remove that error message and let HDToolBox operate in the usual way. http://aminet.net/package/disk/misc/HDToolBoxPatch You also need the right version of the patching program to be able apply those patches.
Ebay might be a place to look for some chinese made adapters.

@ ZeBeeDee

So you've now actually booted into a Compact Flash card on the IDE header of an A1200 Desktop? Prehaps you could give us a bit of a detailed tutorial as so far I've only booted into a 2.5" internal hard drive with an A1200 desktop, and then used a CF card as an Amiga formatted hot swappable disk on the PCMCIA slot.
