Check the jumpers on it, install it, fdisk it and format it using a Win98 startup diskette.
Win98 will recognize it on the next boot. |

Hit option #4 in fdisk, to view partition info, that will tell you what drive you're on.
Change to the other disk if needed using option #5, which will also tell you about what each drive is. Your current boot disk will be disk 1, and the other will be disk 2. |

Have you tried to ressurect it with the manufacturer's tools?
How about Spinrite? There's usually some way to recover the lost data... |
