Broken usb cable for mobile external hard drive [SOLVED]

Hi guys,
I really need your help with.. :
Years ago i’ve bought an mobile external hard drive of “Dane-Elec” in a big mall. The brand is from France. It’s a black one with orange letters on it and it’s one of 250GB memory.
Now.. the problem is that the usb cable is broken. It’s a usb cable with 2 usb outputs. Now i can’t connect it with my pc and i’m in really sh*t because i’ve all my programs and stuff on it!! I went to the mall but they don’t sell ANYTHING no more of that brand!! :s:s:s
What now??? I’ve googled it but without success!! I’ve even sent a mail to the company but i didn’t get a response!! I’m going crazy people!!
Can somebody help me??
Thank you!!
Answer #1
Is it a regular USB cable, or is one end stuck on drive?
If it’s a regular cable, you could buy those for a couple of bucks. Search for Mini USB Y Cable. Or any type of connector it is.
If you can’t replace the USB cable. the best solution is to open the hard drive casing and take out the hard drive. You could hook it up internally in your PC, or buy a new HDD casing and put it in there. They’re pretty cheap too.

Go to amazon or ebay. You’ll find it
Answer #4
Should work with a regular USB cable, the extra connector is just for more power to the drive if your USB ports don’t have enough to run the drive… I have never needed the extra connector on any of mine…

Hey guys,
Thank you very much for your willing to help but it’s already solved!!
Yes it is a USB A to mini B cable which i was looking for with double usb outputs.
I tried and one is still working.. the other not but one is doing the work for me.

On most of these, well all the drives I have anyway, the main USB plug on the cable is data & power, the other is power only and has no data connection…
