I'm replacing my sisters HD in her HPdv2000, 2025nr to be specific, but I'm having a hard time finding the right replacement. I've already ordered the wrong OEM HD from newegg so I could really use some help.

Here is what HD I have right now, what connection is this?

I ordered this from Newegg, but it doesn't fit the connection:mad:

I'm pretty lost now I thought I ordered the correct HD but I'm definitely a bit of a noob suggestions guys?

thanks
 
This is a Seagate Momentus 5400.2 and is apparently out of stock from most online stores. I'll find one, but will be worried about the connection because there is no specific photos of the HD. Ughhhhh so frustrating!!
 
That doesn't appear to be the standard SATA connection that should be used on the drive. Is that possibly an adapter that slides over the standard SATA connection?
 
Yeah, it's an adapter you can pull right off to expose the SATA connector. ;)

Don't feel so bad, I was perplexed by something similar when helping a friend upgrade his laptop's HDD on his HP...it also had a weird connector somewhat like that, though it was dissimilar. :eek:
