Does the original hard drive still work? It's possible that the problem is not with the drives, but with the ATA circuitry on the motherboard. If that's the case, you'll pretty much need to get a new motherboard, or only use the Duo with an external drive or with a Duo Dock that has a hard drive.

Subject: [DuoList] 2300c Hard Drive Woes

I'm now two hard drives into trying to replace the hard drive in my Duo
2300c, and I'm just not having any luck. From what I gather, the IDE
controller in the 2300c supports ATA...2? As in the first EIDE
specification? I was under the impression that ATA standards were
supposed to be backwards compatible, but I can see this is not the case - I have a 2GB drive (Fujitsu) and a 6GB Drive (IBM Apple OEM) that both
will not detect in the 2300c. (Both drives have been HFS formatted
successfully, and read/write properly.) I've heard tell of people
managing to put some pretty hefty hard drives in their Duos - my
question is not so much how, I guess, as 'which ones'?
