    I have a dv2000 that doesnt work, but I want to recover the data from the hard drive. I tried ordering a sabrent USB to SATA/IDE adapter, but it doesnt fit my laptop serial ata hard drive. I've made this task a lot harder then it needed to be, but I can't figure out what part I need in order to make this work. Below is an image of the back of the hard drive. Let me know if there are any other things I should include.

    If you have a desktop that uses SATA, you can just plug it into there and get the data off... wait that doesn't seem like it work either.

    Remove the adapter HP puts on the SATA drive connector.
