4th Attempt at Help with Installing my new Samsung HDD MODEL HM160HC into my Toshiba

HELP ! This is my 4th attempt at getting some Help with Installing my new Samsung HDD MODEL HM160HC into my Toshiba Satellite Notebook M45-S333.
It does NOT look like the existing connection points between the HDD and Toshiba are compatible.

Please ASSUME nothing...I'm a newbie at Notebooks

Check the back of the old drive for a removable adaptor. Post pics of the connectors of the old and new drive and we can let you know what is going on.

Re: 4th Attempt at Help with Installing my new Samsung HDD MODEL HM160HC into my Tosh

DUH ! MY BAD. I just ASSume Everything hardware involving upgrade or replacement is HELL!
--In THIS Case however,This Samsung HDD is engineered to the OEM Toshiba Specs on the M45-S355.
NOTHING IS NEEDED Except a small plastic "wrapper" jacket to hold the drive pins onto the Toshiba connection. If yours is missing...a good rubber band will work --SO LONG AS YOU SCREW the HDD into its casing (so it will NOT slip or slide)
Here's a BAD photo-best I could DO...
Thanks Guys
