Anders, Hold off on that drive, please try to upgrade the firmware first. I seem to recall getting that same error. Something in my old age has forced me to start reading the documentation and my Alix board had .99 and not .99 <some letter> firmware version. I tried forcing a new version of s/w on cf card and got that error. After the firmware upgrade, the rest went smoothly.
