Success!
I installed each drive in a externat USB enclosure and ran Western Digital's setup/format program. Put one back in the 2000 and formatted it - shows up as 233GB each (guess that's close enough). I was going to run WD's low level format "000 program" but that would have taken forever.
They are both set up as JBOD for now with "cs" jumpers.
I'll worry about setting up to mirror later.
In case someone else is having similar problems, I trie to us Knoppix "shred" command last night but it wouldn't even mount the hd. Installed it as a slave on windows XP, bios say the drive but nothing would format, even fdisk.
Many thanks to blue68f100 for staying with me on this one.
I have another 2000 yet to do but it shopuld be a "snap" now (pun intended.
