I saw a CF W2, in the BIOS say
WDC WD800BEVE
That's a 5V Hard drive.[1]
Doesn't the CF W2(and perhaps others) require 3.3V ?
Is this a standard hard drive for it, or hacked (nicely I hope!) to fit?

I think that implies that it's a hack. So what does clipping the pin mean?
And do you have any instructions on opening the laptop?
Even supposing it were 3.5" IDE , and you have a big cable too. You wouldn't want to, but how would you "clip a pin"? and how would you "bridge 2 pins" while connecting it to something?
I think it's really designed awkwardly and hard to find the hard drive.
