My IBM Thinkpad HD has a small black connector on it. Can I remove that connector and attach it to another?
I own an old IBM ThinkPad 240 laptop. I was trying to replace the drive with a larger one. The existing drive has a small black connector on it. I bought a new EIDE drive and it has the standard small pin layout (almost like a 3.5 hd would have). Can I remove the black connector from the existing Travelstar (the old HD) and use it on my new one to make it compatable?
