Problem Getting HDD Recognised for CF Install on HD-FOX

[Black Hole]

I'm trying to support another user with this and I'm baffled.

Scenario:

Buffalo 500GB USB portable drive;
Clean format to FAT32 via HP USB drive format utility on Windows PC, file explorer shows ~500GB free;
Connect to HD-FOX, format OK, reports ~465GB free, set as recording drive OK, seems to record OK;
CF 3.13 installed on HD-FOX;
Access the default web page at the IP address and get the "To install... suitably formatted disk... none was detected"
​

Everything looks like it should be absolutely fine to me, so what do I do now??

What's in _rag.log_?

Too late now, but I shall know to look another time.

As it happens, after another reboot, everything seemed to proceed normally - I just hope it stays that way. It wasn't that the disk was slow to start up either.
