What kind of a HD is this? IDE OR SATA?

I cant boot windows anymore so im trying to attach it as a secondary disk and get my data back this way.
Could i use the following cables to connect it from IDE/SATA to USB?

Could i use these cables to connect the HD to USB?

Please help, this is an HD Futusij, hp laptop Dv9000.

Regards,
Alan.

Alan,

This is a 2.5" SATA Hard Drive. The drive has an adapter connected (which connects to your motherboard in your laptop).

Remove the hard drive from the caddy and then remove this adapter and you will see that it is a regular SATA connector.

Hallo CK and thank you so much for your help! I was well confused cuz the IDE kabels wouldnt fit and it was no SATA connector so ?
But thank, i got it now!

CK,

You got any idea how to remove this thing? Any manuals or anything?

Regards,
Alan.

picture removed m8 so i cant see what are u talking about. However if its what i think it is - u just inscrew the hdd from a caddy if its screwed , and pull on the adaptor to disconect it.

Hallo Alexii and thank you for the kind reply.

Here is the pic:

I just need to screw off the left screw right and then just pull it off?

Alan.

Dear Alexii, Thanks alot for the reply mate!

This is the HD:



The only thing here; is removing the screw on the left and then pulling back right?

Regards,
Alan.

Alan, looks like there are some screws along the side of the actual drive. Remove these and then pull the drive away from the metal caddy. Then remove the adapter.

If this doesn't work, post some pictures of the drive from the side/bottom

Heya Alan. Sry mate not the best angle for a pic =)) Anyway , its just like CK said =) Its safe to remove all the screws u see on that HDD with the exeption of TORX screws =) oh , and dont remove the screws on the green board. They hold PCB and have nothing to do with ur conector.

Hey folks!

Thank you for all the help Alexii, CK and Zebong! I got fixed thanks to you folks and got my data back!
Really appreciate it.
