Hard Drive Renamed

A friend had a Western Digital WD400 hard drive on his machine. One day it
suddenly stopped working. On investigation the BIOS on my computer shows it
as WDC ROM Model --SABRE--

It looks like a virus or something has renamed the drive. Is that possible?
How do I rename the drive and recover the data? I've sent a cople of emails
to Western Digital with no reply.

Thanks

Alan
