I can't disconnect the Molex power connector from the Hard Disk. I've tried many methods, including trying to pry the thing out. I'm a bit stumped, so any help would be appreciated.
 
Solution
Those 4-pin molex power connectors can be real blighters to pull off, but I've never had to resort to using a grip tool on them.

Firm rocking from side to side whilst pulling hard on the connector has always worked for me.

Vice grips... sounds like a good idea. That'll work :)
Will post next with results.

Thanks!
