Q: My dell laptop broke down with this Blue screen problem etc and so i need to connect the laptop hard drive to my desktop so i can recover the files and also do a clean reformat. However i've been searching everywhere and still cant find a suitable adaptor. Right the Laptop Hard drive is made by Samsung and the model no. is : MP0603H and it is 60Gb. If anyone knows where i can get an adaptor for this hard drive connection to a standard IDE connection to desktops. And please dont just say Ebay because i dont know what to search for exactly. Many thanks Everyone!
A: ebay! Which one you needs depends on your desktop computer, The samsung drive is an ATA IDE drive, and a ATA port is porbably on your PC, (most CD /DVD drives still use them) so we'll go with that (as opposed to SATA) So most of these will do the job.. http://shop.ebay.co.uk/?_from=R40&_trksid=m38&_nkw=laptop+ide+to+desktop+ide but this one for sure will... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2-5-Laptop-to-3-5-Desktop-Hard-Drive-IDE-Adaptor-UK_W0QQitemZ220250597883QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item220250597883&_trkparms=72%3A12|39%3A1|65%3A12&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 One end plugs into your laptop drive, the other plus the IDE cable (big grey ribbon cable!) & the power connection.
