So it has to be an adapter with

(that I can plug instead of the real CF) on one end. -A female 40 pin
ATA-style connector on the other end, to plug into the hard drive.

I suspect you'll have problems with power - driving a HDD takes quite abit more power than a CF card IIRC, and you'll probably need an externalpower supply. However, the other connections are probably valid...
