Thanks Dai. Can't believe I didn't think of him first.
I dropped him a message in one of the NG's but I'll give him a shout elsewhere if he doesn't respond. Do you know where he frequents (PM if you prefer)? Suppose I could just email him at the site really.
In any case, after much Googling last night for firmwares and whatnot, I bought an identical drive with the correct firmware - seems to be an awful lot of people had success with this, so I'm going to give it a go. Worst case scenario if it doesn't work is I'll have a new 400GB drive to have the recovered data transferred to - I'd have had to buy one of those anyway.
