      Looks like an IDE connector to me.

      They come in various sizes, if you look up the length of it and make sure the pins match, you could probably get another.

          Can you post the make and model of the HDD?

          Can find the reverse of what you need also need to know if the other end is SATA or EDIE or some other connector?

          @Pyro that is for a desktop not a laptop.

          Have you tried contacting IBM.

              Ah, I wondered why the pins had the plastic rail in the middle, thanks for the heads up.
