Look on the box, what V/A numbers does it want? ...and what kinda connector does it take?
Oh, and where are you? (goes to being able to suggest where to go)

If it looks anything like this, you're gonna need 12Vdc but, seeing as it's got a drive in there, you're likely to need at least 1amp with that ..more like 3 at least, I reckon. Per this list, which one have you got?
...nm, it takes 12V/2A - now all you need do is find something that'll give you that. Look at DC bricks for small printers or the like; going by the 12V/1Adc that a WaRT uses, I reckon routers are likely to fall short.

You can (very) likely get a permanent solution to your problem at Laptop Accessories, search for LA1250 on their other products page - that's a 12V/5A device, perfect for your needs and a steal at R200! (ex VAT (man I hate that practice!)) Call them and specifically ask about the size/shape of the connector (be prepared to be VERY patient, English is very much not their first language!)
