All I want to do is recover files. since I had purchased a new used IBM T40 Think Pad to use this hard drive on a failed laptop, I had 2 hard drives. the one it came with and my old one, that had I think a virus or something. I was trying to find a program that would detect and repair this problem. but also had an infestation here of tiny little bug in my laptop so I covered it with a towel to prevent damage and left it in the house when I fogged. now that drive won't boot. I had turned it off, but it was plugged into power. So I can use the spare hdd I had, but I still need my files. I only have a partial back up nothing really up to date so I want to get an enclosure to see if I can recover my files. but the ones I see say 2.5 inch enclosure. this one measures about 2 6/8 of an inch across. So I do not know if it will fit in this enclosure. they have a kit that is supposed to hook up everything but I really don't want those, if I don't have to. cost is about $20 more. and it is just the wires not the enclosure and even then I am not sure that would fit either. I believe it might work as an external drive even.. Wish they had better photos but even then it wont say if it holds smaller or other sizes. I am hoping someone can answer this so I know what to get. thank you
