Mine came with a "DVE Switching Adapter":

(Model: DVS-120A15FUS
Input: 100-240V ~ 50/60Hz 0.7A)

Output is +12V, 1.5 A

Diagram indicates that the outer shield is negative, I think.

I have the same BMMDU2. It's used 12V/1.5A power suply.

It should be a 12v 1.5 amp switching supply

The drive USB interface may be damaged; an external case is available form various vendors for about $20. The drive should pop out and into the new case. If still not recognized, then the ID track on the drive may be compromized - that can happen if the USB is unplugged while it is still writing to the drive. There is drive recovery software out there, like EASEUS that works quite well (they have a demo that you can try free) to see if that would work.

You can try opening the device manager in Window XP and uninstall the external hard disk (make sure you show unplugged devices).
Then replug the drive again, and it should reinstall the drivers.

There should be a factory image on the HD when you try restarting it. Hold down the F8 key or F10 key while its rebooting this should start the recovery process you shouldnt need a windows disk.
