Mine does the same. One of the IDE pins (39 or 40 I think) is for activity, suspect the CF card doesnt send any info on that pin.

Thanks for the link. Tried it this afternoon but didnt work for me. DOH! I have the same type of adaptor as in the link.

Edit: Just read the full EAB thread and I have an onboard LED on the CF adaptor that is fitted the wrong way round. Soldering to the other side of the LED has fixed the problem and I now have HD activity working :-D
