OK, a bit sad replying to my own post, but after a bit more digging and
exploration of /proc/modules it seems that the  pata_it821x  driver is
loading. What I think I am missing is the  sg  and  sd_mod  drivers
since when booted into the live CD these are loaded and the partitions
on the drive are showing up as sda1, sda2, sda3 and sda4.

So it would seem that the driver is using scsi emulation to work and
these extra elements are missing. Of course I'm far from being an expert
in Linux drivers, so I could be reading this completely wrongly :)

Next I need to work out how to force these to load and with any luck the
drive will then be avaiable. Any suggestions more than welcome - please!
