Clutching at straws, but is there a physical jumper on the drive to set 
the block size? It'd probably need to be 256 bytes for something hooked 
up to the beeb, whilst it's likely something different for most other 
hardware...

If those are the model of drives I'm thinking of, I've had a few 
problems with them in the last few years - if possible verify that the 
drives / media are known to be good on a modern machine...
