Anyone know how to determine which is pin 1 on an IDE 2.5" drive ?

I just bought a couple of Tablet PC's (from eBay, Compaq TC1000 and
Toshiba=
Prot=E9g=E9 3500) and since neither have any form of CD/Floppy drive the b=
est way I can figure to make an emergency reinstall disc is to Ghost the
ex=
isting hard disc. Unfortunately Ghost won't run under XP (requires a
reboot=
floppy) so my only option is to pull the drive out and plug it into a desk=
top PC. I have a cheap adapter but the drive can be attached either way
aro=
und.. don't want to send the volts down the wrong pins!
