Ok, i snapped of little usb port on the hard drive so now, i can't attach a usb cable to it. I tried opening up the hard drive and thought i could connect it to my computer using SATA cables, but however it doesn't seem to have any place i can connect the SATA cable. Anyway i can stilll connect it to the computer? it's a welland harddrive. Cheers.

The sata from your USBHDD is probably eSata connector. Everything is the same except the connector is a bit different.
