Hard Drive Recovery

[TrainTrackHack]

Uh, hello?! Do you not see that red cable? That's a SATA cable right there. You keep it plugged into that adapter, and then plug the red cable into your drive. Now take the power brick and attach the SATA power connector adapter to the 4-pin molex adapter to turn it into a SATA adapter. Then plug it in, power it on, and plug it into your computer.

Not sure what you mean... I know it's a SATA cable, but his hard drive is obviously SATA and I'm assuming his motherboard is SATA too, so how exactly would the adapter help?

What's the problem?
That adapter supports both PATA and SATA 2.5 and 3.5.
Those holes on both sides are for PATA either 2.5 or 3.5.
On the top you have the slot to attach the SATA wire which then goes to the hard disk drive...
If the SATA wire is attached,it's the same thing...

So that goes to HDD and the USB side goes to the USB port on the motherboard.
And now the last things you need are PATA to SATA wire and HDD power adapter:

My head is killing me right now by the way...damn headaches!

That looks like what I have.
Not sure where I have put the middle cable with the white plug or if I need it.

The red cable will actually fit into one of the slots on the hdd but the enclosure I was using fitted onto a second slot next to it also.
The power cable is not a great fit either and have to use some force to plug it into the back of the drive.
