To use the WD 800 as a master there must be no jumper attached to it.The maxtor has a diagram for the jumper and it MUST be set to slave not cable select.
I would look on ebay. A problem you might encounter is that all drives contain spots that can't be written to and each drive has these spots listed in the original circuit. So, if you use a board from another drive, you can imagine that it will be trying to read your drive like it would have read the original drive. You might want to research this more as I am remembering this info from research I did quite a while ago. My memory is a little foggy on it.
Jumpers on the newer Western Digital drives are different. If the drive is a single, then you should not have any jumpers on. If it's going to be a master and there's a slave, the jumper goes on the middle two pins of the five sets
