Recently I had a laptop that had the top slammed down on it while on. The hard drive refused to boot after that. It is not recovering very nicely. I purchased a Cables to GO laptop to IDE adapter (great invention). However, this little HP drive has female connectors and so does the end of the drive that connects to it. Any suggestions beside beating it to death. Need about a dozen very important docs on this but is is not worth sending to data recovery.
