Cheap people such as myself might have tried this. I bought my 9300 with a standard 40gb drive to save money as their upgrade prices were way too expensive at the time. So I bought a ATA-6 Seagate Momentus 100gb drive instead.
I had some personal things going on at the time and in my rush I removed the old hard drive and sold it before hooking up the new Seagate and testing it out. Well, I was sent to military training starting immediately after that and so had no chance to test it. Five months later, I have my laptop again and the hard drive is not recognized. AFter much aggravation and swearing I've learned that their is a special proprietary pin adapter that lets the hard drive make a connection with the EIDE socket on the motherboard.
That adapter is long gone now and I am stuck with no working computer as the spring semester of business has begun. I need to get one of these as quickly as possible. If anyone can help me, it is very much appreciated!
