    Hey all, my gf laptop is broken, so i took out her HDD and bought a 2.5 enclosure for it, came with the case and the usb and a small circuit board but the slot on the enclosure is far far to small for the pins on the hdd, i assume i have to get an adaptor or something for it, any ideas??

    What type of HD is it? SATA? And what type of enclosure did you get? Sounds like you've bought the wrong adapter/enclosure.
