ST-225 help needed

Hope someone can help . . .

I have two Seagate ST-225 drives and a WD1002SWX2A controller. Both drives
have previously lived in XT-class DOS-based PCs. One of the drives is
bootable, the other is not.

What I need to do is set both drives up in the same PC, booting from the
bootable drive (duh) so that I can extract the data from the non-bootable
drive. The object of the game is to move the data to a modern
(Duron-based) system. I can't boot from a floppy disk drive due to a fault
in the motherboard, but I do have a SCSI controller and hard drive in the
XT system. I can move the SCSI drive to the newer system once I can get to
the data on the non-bootable ST-225.

What is the proper configuration for the ST-225 drives and the WD
controller?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

If I am not for myself, then who will be for me?
And if not now, when?
