    My m1330 died tonight and I need to get the data off ASAP. The trouble is that Dell thoughtfully puts some kind of weird connector on the hd as far as I can tell because it certainly doesn't fit into the hard drive enclosure I own. Any ideas? I'd like to get my notes off before midterms in a couple weeks. :S

    Thanks,

    Matt

    Hmm... that looks like it actually.. I'm having trouble getting the last screw out right now since it seems to have been stripped by the dell repair people months ago. :S

    Maybe I can plug it into my desktop... I'll have to have a look.. if I can ever get this screw out. :( Thanks.
