Yes, I've replaced the hard drive in my second Iyo with a 4GB CF card, 
formated first, copy the hard drive onto it and then used as the boot 
drive, removing the original HDD completely. Mine plugs directly into 
the IDE connector on the main board with a FDD PSU connector on.
I've also done the same with a Kinetic RPC without problems.
