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.
