Hello,

The four pin male connector is for the power connector from your power 
supply. The 22 pin connector is for the data cable that attaches the 
drive to the motherboard. You could try installing it in another 
computer as a slave drive and read the things off of it you need.

You would have to set the jumpers on the drive to slave to install it as 
a second drive in a system.

It is a Hitachi, Model #HTS428060F9AT00.  The attaching end has 22 female pin openings and a 4 pin male device on the side.  Do I have a chance in Hell?
