The old machine was W98 and I should think the HD was FAT 32.

Further to Alan's suggestions, I did try running BartCE disk, but that 
didn't recognise the slave drive either.

The shop which built the computer is very experienced. they installed the 
old drive, and I've no doubt they would have been aware of the correct 
jumpers. From feeling it, it does seem to be spinning, and isn't making any 
odd noises.

It was an IDE drive. The new one is Sata I think.
