SOURCE: Need to open WD MyBook 1TB HDD model WD10000H1CS-00
I have this same problem and found a great write-up here that has text and photos of the process. I haven't tried the process with mine but there are plenty of responses to his posting indicating success. Good luck.

If $30 are going to doom you, then yes, you are doomed.
If not, I saw a replacement power supply for this model on eBay:

But before you you buy one, I'd suggest trying to go to a store that sells it and see if a different power adapter will actually fix the problem. It sounds like it's just the adapter that's messed up, but you never know and we don't want you to waste money for nothing.
Testimonial: "thnx mate.although I still had guarantee on that HDD I decided to pop open the case, threw the drive in another case and viola! HDD woks again."

The 20 GB drive will be Master and the 200 GB will be slave. If you are using one cable, you can use the cable select setting.
If you are useing two cables, one must be set as master and the other set as slave.
SOURCE: Need driver for Western Digital Scorpio
Hi raider4123,
The Western Digital Scorpio (WD2500BEVS) doesn't come with a driver, but I have an idea that perhaps you may have a pin setting wrong, making the drive not recongizeable. Here is the information on setting the pin on the back'
If that doesn't seem to solve the problem, then I'd run the WD Lifeguard software, that will detect any problems and correct them for you. You can find that software HERE.
Good Luck,
And don't forget to leave a rating.
Thanks
Mark
