Can't really see it, but I can see all your other photos.

Love to help, but:
a) The picture looks like window fram and an ivy covered wall
b) You haven't actually asked a question

Can't seen any hard drive but you sure like to take pictures of yourself! :-)

so your friend bought a HDD , and you never saw one like it before ..
erm what is the question ?

" have to admit from what i can see of the pic's i couldnt even identify anything on them "

I think there are only really 2 things that could be different about a hard dirve.

!) It is a small laptop hard drive (2.5 inch) rather than a desktop hard dirve (3.5 inch)

2) It has a newer SATA connection on the back rather than the old IDE connection.

Could it be either of those?
