I have the same harddisk, but the brand is IBM. They should be the same drive. I have no problem with this hard drive. I had also the same problem with a Fijitsu notebook harddisk. But I cannot remember how I fixed it. It still working in my A1200.
You could try to download the specification of your hard drive and look if the jumpers are inserted correctly.
There is another HD prep tool called HDinsttool. You could find it on Aminet.
