First time in my life I took out the Hard Disk from my dead laptop.
It seemed very easy to do the whole thing. When I tried to put the Hard Disk in the cover, it didn't fit, my disk was too big! Actually, I had to also unscrew a 'cover' that my disk had ( 4 screws) around it.
Then the size of it fit perfectly, but then the disk's 'nose' didn't fit with the inside of the Sunwire's cover. Actually, I had to pull away another protective from my disk's 'nose'. I just tried to pull it gently and it went off, so I guess I did the right thing. Now everything was fine, the hard disk fit perfectly in the cover.
Plugged the thing in another laptop (Windows 7), and although the light in the cover was on, nothing appeared in My Computer! Then I plugged BOTH USBs from the cable provided, and it was recognized immediately! I could see all my files in the hard drive, yeahhhh!
All good then; I just described my situation so that it could be of any help for any other person that has never opened a laptop.

Enclosure is supplied with screw driver, Power-USB cable & porch to keep it scratch free.
NOT all usb cables work with the drive, So better to keep the supplied USB cable with the drive at all times.
Otherwise, this product does not disappoint. Love it.Sunwire - 2.5" HDD SATA Enclosure USB 2.0 - XP/VISTA/WIN-7/MAC - Red

The multi-function one-size-fits-all SATA/IDE adapter I bought prior to this simply didn't work with my old laptop SATA drive. I didn't expect much from this box, given the price, but as long as it made the connection, I'd have been happy. I ordered a red one, but got a black one - not really an issue.
This is actually a pretty well made item. It's an all-metal construction. The two covers unclip to remove them, released by a single button on one end. The panel fit is very good.
It includes a dual-USB to mini-USB power/data lead, 4 screws to secure the drive, even a suitable screwdriver to tighten the screws. There's a plastic sheet inside to insulate the control board from the case plus a leatherette wallet to keep it in. I honestly can't see how this could be improved. Oh and it works too!!
