If it sat that long you need to replace the CMOS battery before attemping anything, it is probably dead.

You can hook it up as a slave drive. Just change the jumper to SLAVE, put on the same IDE cable as the other hard drive. You should then be able to access the data on the drive.

I have the 2500 jumper out as master single(only way it would recognize hdd) also not sure how to access the 400, never did it before as far as the o/s is concerned (2500/xp) (400me) ill get the unit to see both drives afrte that lost

The 2500 should have a jumpoer setting as MASTER (not Master Single), then you jumper the WD400 as SLAVE.
