The motherboard of my sister's laptop has failed and I want to reclaim the data from the hard disk which is a Hitachi DK23FB-40 with an ATA-5 interface. I have a cable to connect the drive to my PC's ATA port but the cable doesn't have a blank in the connector to correspond with the missing pin on the drive's connector. Which way round does the ribbon cable go? In other words, which end is pin 1? Is it the end near the Master/Slave selection pins or the other end?
