Hello everybody
I have made some futher test since i recieved the new controller card.
So results are that both controller cards are ok.
Next step was to try Norton disk doctor but no luck with this one : drive is reconiced but un able to read partition table or anything else.
I also tried spinrite but this programm need that the dos partiiton is readable so nothing to do here.
I tried every possible combination to get the drive work near the ide drive ( disable bios on wd controller, disable motherboard controllers enter right CHS infor for drive to mother board controller) nothing helps, computer hags on black screen.
This situation does not allow me to do a DD image with freedos if someone has any idea to get both drives work on same mother board this would be helpfull.
So the only thing i was able to do was to having the WD drive (with its on controlle and bios) work on the K6 board an boot computer from 1,44 dikette.
with this new option i was able to start Test disk "by crhistophe grenier":
with returned all partitions are unreadable :
My second option was Photorec from same author :
For now (process still running) it recovers about 385 files all .txt files (i dont know what it really recovers)
If someone Know about a good data recover software for dos ? I tried get databack but as i'm not able to start on my IDE drive with the MFM/RLL WD drive as second hard disk i was not able to try this option.
Kind regards an thank you all for your time and kind help

Did you disable the bios (jumper w3) on the WD1002-27X when you put it in the k6 board? The WD1002-27X is a dual XT/AT card that should work in at systems, although the K6 system is likely to be more problematic than say a 386.
