Transferring laptop hard drive to my desktop

[Salil]

Hello All,
I had a Dell Inspiron 9100 Laptop that had a 2.5" Fujitsu hard drive. I got a standard 2.5" to 3.5" IDE adaptor. However, it doesn't fit my laptop hard drive because the connectors are different. I can't seem to find the connectors on my laptop hard drive anywhere on the web and it seems to be very different from the connectors on other 2.5" hard drives I see on the web. Here is an image of the connectors on my laptop hard drive

and here is the adaptor I got from amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ef=oss_product. Please do let me know what sort of adaptor should I get to connect this 2.5" harddrive to my desktop

you've already got the right adapter.

all ide notebooks use standard 2.5" drives, but sometimes they have a little adapter that goes between the drive and the motherboard like yours. you need to remove the connector attached to the drive. look up 'inspiron 9100 hard drive connector' on ebay and see what i mean.

here's an example:

And here's another example of what PottedMeat said. This is a H-P caddy and 90 degree pin adapter.

Oh, and you also have to remove the bare drive from the proprietary caddy used by the laptop. Look for 4 screws. One in each corner area.
