    When my Vaio TX770P crashed and burned recently :( , I removed the Toshiba 1.8" HDD1584 (80GB with ATA-100 interface and 50-pin female connector). Does anyone know how to recover the data from this disk drive? :confused:

    I took a chance and tried purchasing a 1.8" ZIF LIF (iPod) HD Enclosure Case for Toshiba, Hitachi, and IBM Drives. Figured I'd take a shot for $13 + S&H since it advertised an easy USB cable interface. Clearly it was not meant to work with a 50-pin f connector though.

    Can someone provide a link to a product that would work for this device...hopefully something cheap and easy with a USB connector.

    THANKS!
    Howard :cool:

    most data recovery software could support your device, there are freewares and commervial software. If you Google "free data recovery software" there is a list of information like:
    http://www.softperfect.com/products/filerecovery/
    If you don't want to use freeware, you could use the commercial software from trailpay.
    It depends on yourself.
