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?

The connector shown in your third link is an adapter. It either just pulls
off or requires the removal of a screw from each end (you photo didn't quite
inlcude enough).

Once the adapter is removed, the disc drive will have a standard SATA
interface connector on it and any SATA adapter will work.

He means any SATA HDD should work (with the adapter fitted). ;-)

The OP stated that he wished to connect the removed drive to his desktop, so
I meant exactly what I said.

My bad. When you wrote "SATA adapter" (I would have said "SATA cable" as
nothing needs to be 'adapted',) I thought you were talking the other way....
