Samsung 160G spinpoint internal H.D.

I had a H.D. quit and bought an exact H.D. on ebay and want to take apart the 2 drives to swap the electronics to retrieve info from the bad H.D. Is there a trick to this before I have parts flying at me.
Thanks, Bill M.

You are brave. Are you sure it is the electronics? If it is in the drives spindles or heads you are out of luck. You will centainly loose everything if you open and expose the actual disk.

you can replace it with any IDE drive.
if you have a SATA port on your motherboard you can use any SATA hard drive which is faster than IDE.
