You should have a special partition on your disk to make CC use this disk...

i have that exact drive and have been using it for over 2 years with no probs. No idea bout the crystal chip though, i have a v4 with duo2 mod but just use the memory card exploit. Have you tested the hdd in a pc to see if it works?

Well, in CC there should be an option to turn on the HDD on startup. Turn it off. Then run LaunchELF, either from CD, MC or mass. In Launchelf create a partition and here you go. You can now turn that option back.
