I have no idea what that cable did, cause i borrowed it from friend. I have information that i have to get new case or try to get HD dock and then i can use HD as external HD. That is going to look ugly and really, but it's only way to use it from now on. I’m happy to announce i succeeded to restore my data with some special SATA cable with special controller.

It took only minutes to get the case off. The only hitch was the SATA cable. Then I realized I could use the other connector on the WD (not mentioned in your article) to as spare on my computer. After a total of 15 or 20 minutes I powered up to find my data. Good lesson, I have since bought another (not WD) external hard drive and backed everything up to it and to a DVD. Thanks again for saving me money and my sanity!!! Thanks so much for your advice. It took only minutes to get the case off. The only hitch was the SATA cable.

No screw, just plastic locking tabs at both top and bottom, similar to your photographs. However, the drive in my book is an IDE drive. My Book must be an earlier version.

I am never buying another external drive ( I have several), as I have discovered the Mediasonic external cases. They have fans and I have both the 2 bay ( USB, FireWire 400 and 800), and a 4 Bay with USB and SATA. These are excellent well-made cases and come in a variety of types (USB2, FireWire 400 and 800, RJ45). I highly recommend them, and I just bought new 1 TB drives at $70 USD each. http://mediasonicinc.com/store/index.php?cPath=26 They have a US and a Canadian site, plus dealers all over North America I have 2 MyBooks, and have just had to tear my 500Gig apart as per this blog.

I was just curious to find out what's inside the case (was out of warranty anyway). My 250Gb MyBook is having a temperature problem. If it's not in a well ventilated area, after half an hour of reading/writing it just won't respond anymore and it gets inaccesible (in windows it shows me that error H:/Mft...bla bla cannot be written). I just have to wait for it to cool of , then works like a charm. Untill it heats again, of course! Thank you a lot dude for this tutorial.
