smokin5s Posted December 24, 2016 Report Share Posted December 24, 2016 Anyone know of an adapter I can use for this? I have an old laptop that I don't want to loose the data on. I did a quick 10 minute google search and can't find anything that looks like it would work and I was hoping someone knew of a home made solution or something on the net I can pick up. Thanks!

smokin5s Posted December 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 I have this cable and it doesn't work. I don't know if it's because it's the 2.5in drive or what. It's a drive out of an old school compaq armada laptop. It had pictures on it from a long time ago that I'd like to recover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be standard IDE pins underneath that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokin5s Posted December 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 That grey piece should come off no? There should be standard IDE pins underneath that. You are absolutely right... It just goes to show how long I've been out of the PCT game as I've forgotten simple things like this. anyways, I removed the adapter and I plugged it right into my IDE to USB adapter. Thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
