Attach a laptop HD to a desktop PC?
RayB:
Is there such a device what will let me take a laptop's harddrive and attach it to a regular tower PC? (Laptop is dead and I need to copy stuff off the harddrive + wipe it clean before selling)
Hoopz:
Yes, you need a hard drive adapter. Find the size (dimensions) for your laptop drive and Google it. I bought one a couple months ago that connected a 2.5 inch hard drive to IDE. It was about $8 or so.
You connect the adapter to an IDE cable and the hard drive connects to it. Pretty simple.
EDIT: I'm getting an error trying to post the pics. Here's the link.

I've been using one of these for a while now and it is great. I use a 500gb sata drive for all my backups.
