Sorry if this is obvious, but two things come to mind..
1) The drive is locked. Usually seen in laptops, if you set a BIOS Password, it also sets the password on the HD. In this case, the drive would work fine in the original machine, but not in another machine, without being unlocked.
This is a possibility but since this drive is NOT from a PC how would one know if the drive is locked?
2) Did you set the Master/Slave jumper correctly. Most name brand machines use Cable Select cables, and set all drives to CS. Put the drive in another machine without a CS cable, and you need to set the jumpers for it to work properly.
The source drive (the one in question) was jumpered as in the original machine (CS I believe). The fact that CopyR could at least control the motor and read the drive ID seems to indicate that this was not the problem.
