I downloaded a piece of software (MaxBlast) from maxtor site and it created a floppy. Booted up from it and it ripped through a format and the HDD worked straight away.
I think the problem was the HDD had been used for a dual-boot with Win 2000 on, before being wiped clean. The formatting was not understood by Win ME.
