you need to remove it from the caddy it's in as it seems to be using a custom acer connector. It's most probably a SATA drive if running in a new laptop, so once removed try connecting it up using the standard sata connectors you have in your desktop (if it's a newish desktop).

You sure that will work? Don't want to brake it

paul rope · 3 Jun 2009 at 15:29

I have just open it up and it's just the same so nothing to conner it to

Pull that black connector off the end, that's on so that you can remove it vertically from the slot in the laptop. It should just pop off then end revealing standard sata connections.

You can clearly see from the photos the black connector adaptor is not screwed on. Just pull it gently away from the drive and you'll see standard SATA connectors.

You don't need to unscrew it from anything, just pull the connector off. I did one of these yesterday.

Also, learn how to write correctly!

Keep the personal stuff out of it.
In future paul rope if you have a problem with someone's posts use the shiny rtm button on the left instead of letting them get to you and they'll be dealt with accordingly.

I only suggested you tried to improve the readability of your posts. It would stop as many people mocking your threads and they might actually help you.

If you do have a problem (Dyslexia?), you can get a spellchecker for most (if not all) internet browsers that will help you write posts that people can actually understand.

JohnnyG · 3 Jun 2009 at 16:37

It's tiresome having to remove posts mocking his spelling, so I'll ask only once more that you stop doing it.

I think my HD is broke

I plugged it into computer like every one say it start to load up but then a blue screen come up and it reset :S

You cant get the caddy off? Its usually 4 to 6 screws and a push on connector!

I would take it to a computer shop and get someone back it up for you.

paul rope · 4 Jun 2009 at 09:59

Are you trying to load windows from the laptop's harddrive on your pc? That won't work. You'll be needing to load windows as normal from your computer's main harddrive, and then copy the stuff from your laptop drive within windows.

Once you have connected the laptop hdd to your main computer, start it up and go straight into the bios and make sure that the boot order has not changed and that the laptop drive is seen as a secondary device and Not the boot device.

clv101 · 4 Jun 2009 at 10:09

Did you try and boot from it or just access it?

I just put it in and load it up.
Did not go in bios or any thing

if its sata then you should be able to start up your main PC as normal and then plug the drive in after. windows should detect it as a new drive and install it (i'm thinking similar to eSATA). that way you avoid it booting fromt he laptop drive by accident
