I'm not online at the moment (so I can't look at your pictures), but I
have a 770Z. The hard drive is standard, but located in a caddy.  Have you
taken the drive out of the caddy?  If not, get a jeweler's screwdriver and
have at it.  There's a standard laptop hard drive in there somewhere. :)

In fact, I replaced the old (slow) HD in my 770Z with a 5400 RPM drive
just recently and use the thing as my desktop while at home.
