Hello,

I decided to replace HD in my laptop. It is HP Pavilion DV2000. I need
some kind of adapter to connect it to my desktop (my desktop have SATA
and IDE drives) to clone the old HD to a new one.
It says my disk is SATA Serial - but I see it is not regular SATA
adapter.
Here are pictures of my HD:

Any idea what kind adapter do I need?

Q: What does this have to do with Mac hardware?
A: Nothing at all.

So why did you post this to comp.sys.mac.hardware.storage?

the easiest way is get a 2.5" usb disk enclosure for serial ata drives.
then you can attach it to anything, even a mac.

why did you post this to a mac group?

Looks very much like there is an adapter still on the disk and
that the disk is a standard 2.5" SATA disk that needs no adapter
at all. Remove the aluminum base plate and the plastic adapter
on the disk's connector. The power connector (broad) will
connect directly to a standard SATA power connector. The data
connector (slim) will connect directly to an SATA data cable.

BINGO!

Yes, there is still an adapter plugged into the back of the
driv that needs to be removed, is only used in compatible
laptops that need it.
