it is a lot of work to hack at that. you basically will have to get an adapter that can be modified to fit, or individually tap into the plugs to see which is which. to keep it short, take a look here:

I guess that will help me, but i wanted to put the drive into my PC so it be like another "local disk" in "My Computer". Do i need the case of the iPod to work it?

i have

my friends brother dropped it from a second floor balcony and it shattered open

the connector kind look like an IDE connector with 2 rows of pins and a piece that plugs in. but i dunno if they have adpaters for such thing since its not a normal use for a IPOD

Ok i think i gave the wrong idea to you people, here is what i ment to say.

I took out the hard drive out of my broken ipod. The ipod's screen is broken, but the hard drive is fine.

So now I want to use this ipod's hard drive for my computer. Is there an adapter/cable/whatever that I can use to hook up the ipod's hard drive to my computer?

Heya

Well you could use the guide already provided: http://www.command-tab.com/2005/03/13/ipod-super/

That should help you build the adapter just fine.

Ok, so I will have to use wires and solder to hook up the hard drive to the IDE port.

But how do I know which pins to connect to which holes?

Come on, there must have been someone that has a pic showing where to put the wires.
