Re: Help! Its an Emergency! (Computer Related)
check around the HDD, it should have screws securing it to a adapter. Most laptop drives have what is like a adapter with a metal strap around the HDD. Laptops do not have a special drive, so any peice is removable. Just be careful not to bend any of the pins. Worst case, give me a call and drop by my place and I can help you out b4 BP tonight. I have all the cables you might need. Should be able to save any data on the drive. Maybe even try accessing it with a boot disk and then copying it to a flash drive.
Lemme know.

Re: Help! Its an Emergency! (Computer Related)
We'll I managed to figure out what my problem was about hooking it up. I tried using a IDE adapter when my HDD is clearly a SATA drive... haha... ha... :(
I got some of the information off it, namely my project, but that's all i managed to get. Good enough for me :D Also, if anyone needs a enclosure for a 2.5" IDE Laptop drive I've got one. |

You youngens, don't know a sata drive from an IDE **roles eyes**
Next you'll be saying, "where's the windows key, on a MAC." or better yet... where do I plug-in my wireless to the network. Geez! 8-P

Re: Help! Its an Emergency! (Computer Related)
I guess I was cursed somehow, cause now one of my video cards just burned itself out. I had 2 BFG 6600 GT OC cards SLI'd. Well tonight my system died while i was doing some rendering and I got that nasty smell of burned silicon. Well after a bit of sniffing, testing and swaping turned out the primary video card burned out. DOH!
So now I must decide what card to go for. One 6600 Nvidia card isn't fast enough for my liking. So anyways, thats my story.
