Hard drives are pretty standard with 4 treaded holes in the bottom and usualy come with screws. The ard drive holes line up with holes in te bottom of the case. The screws just go from outside the case into the threaded holes.

You have to line it up at the bottom and see if the screws can fit through at least two holes

Buy the enclosure, install your hard drive in it, plug it into a usb port of a working computer. Drive will show as an external drive. (like a flash drive). Open the drive and transfer the data from it to the working computer.

No directions needed. Just simply plug and play once the HD is out the packaging.

I'm having the same problem. Windows7 doesn't recognize it. Can't find drivers for the drive or the case ANYWHERE.

You CAN power it up via the USB Port OR the external Power Adapter. Using the external Power Adapter allows the plugged in( tested or augmenting) hard drive to operate more efficiently, It's another step but worth the small effort. Product support recommend connecting it that way... so that's what I did. If you do likewise you should connect the Power Adapter BEFORE connecting the USB Cable.

I cannot remember if it came with instructions or not, however it is very easy! The end of the enclosure where you insert the USB plug comes off, your 500GB Hard drive plugs directly into the SATA slot in the end you slid off, then you just slide the connected hard drive and end-piece back into the enclosure. two small screws that come with the enclosure can be screwed into each side of the end you just slid in to keep it secure. Then you just plug in the USB cord and fire it up. Hope this helps, and good luck!

to power the hard drive you need a 4 pin molex connector from the power supply. to connect it to the motherboard you're gonna need some kind of IDE to SATA adapter cable since this particular hard drive uses an older IDE connection

It's been a long time. I think a cable came with my drive. I don't see why you could not use any USB cable. I switch them all the time.

It's just like any other Harddrive. Open the hatch where the hard drive is supposed to go and insert the hard drive and you're set.

I looked at mine closely for you... I see no user friendly screws... it looks like the case is a high gloss tight fit snap together assembly surrounding what is most likely going to be an internal metal frame housing. I'm very happy with my 3TB WD Ext. Hard Drive. Take care - Jeremy in TX www.MyMailBoxFreedom.com and www.JTR3665.com

If you are using the power adapter, connect the adapter 1st to power up the drive - When powered up, then connect the Sabrent IDE/Sata connector to the drive and your computer should respond by adding the drive to the system...

There is only one hard drive bay which is already occupied. If you do not use the optical drive you and remove it and get a hard drive caddy and put one in there.

I had no issues. I took out one screw. Attatched the cable and slide the drive in replaced screw. It was a very simple process. I am no expert on computers. I can only share my experience with repairing it.

You have to unscrew the back panel where it goes. Take out the old drive. Remove the metal plate and attach to the new drive and then plug it back it. It was really easy to do. I hope that helps.

You need a SATA to USB converter with power. Something like: Sabrent USB 2.0 TO SATA/IDE 2.5/3.5/-INCH Hard Drive Converter EC-AHDD

Hard drives are relatively universal, if there's enough space in the drive bay to fit, you can put it in there.Remember, this is a Serial ATA drive, you may need an adapter depending on the sort of connector. Could you open up the drive bay and show me the connectors on the device? If not, at least provide a description of how the drive is connected.
