Okay so I got bored today and decided to open my old broken mp3 player to find that the ribbon cable is all thats broken on it. Seeing as this little hard drive is 8g and works good (to my knowledge : /) how would one go about usb-wiring it to a computer to snoop around...BTW it is a ST 1.2...

And if you shine a flashlight into the CF slot of a card reader you'll see the corresponding male pins.
