Computer won't recognise slave drive

My work PC died last week (XP Pro), although I believe the HDD is fine (it slaves OK to a friend's XP computer OK).

I bought myself a 3.5" caddy to plug into my home PC (Win98SE) as a slave, but it doesn't recognise the drive. In BIOS, it sees it but not in "My Computer". Jumpers set correctly.

The caddy (& home PC) work fine with an exact same spec HDD (Maxtor 80Gb) that I've been using as a slave at home for a year or two.

Is it possible that because the my work HDD is XP Pro, my home Win98SE computer won't recognise it?
