I Have Aquired A Siemens Scenic Mobile 360 Laptop, Unfortunately The Hdd Is Missing But Machine Goes Into Setup Etc So It Appears To Work. Is It Possible To Still Obtain A H.d.d For One Of These Laptops Or S There An Adapter Available So As It Would Accept Any Laptop Drive

From what I can see of this laptop it would take a standard laptop hard drive.

Do you have some reason to think otherwise?

yes the drive plug is totally different certainly on the 360 model, its different again on a 750 model.

Well it is hard to see without seeing but I believe all 2.5" laptop drives have a standard 44 pin connection.

There may be an adapter used in between the drive and the laptop. Fujitsu Siemens no longer lists that model so it is hard for me to find details although what I do see looks like any other laptop.

Is the drive a slide in type or is it internal?

You might be best off just stopping into a computer shop and letting them take a look just to get eyes on info.

the plug that the hard disk goes into is very small and it looks like it goes into an adapter i guess ill just have to open the notebook and see if i can get a better view of whats going on, thanks for youre time

This Sony laptop was described as such:

Getting the Sony laptop hard drive out of the cage is simple enough if you have a quality screwdriver and strong wrists. There are four screws holding the drive itself into the cage, plus the add-on connector that often fools people into thinking that the laptop hard drive is something other than a standard 2.5" IDE drive.

well now ive looked at this machine i now know that i need an adapter to plug into the hdd and then into the laptop the laptop end is an oblong box with 2 rows of 22 connectors any one any idea if this plug is still available? Sorry description isnt better but i can email pics

That is a 44 pin connector. Laptop standard 2.5" IDE drive. You just need a laptop hard drive not a tower 3.5" hard drive.

No need to stick with Fujitsu but that's what I Googled here:
