Hi there! New to all this,hope to help out aswell as to be helped  I have a hard drive that I had for my laptop until it broke, now I have a desktop and was wondering the cheapest/easiest way to gain access to my old hard drive. A friend spoke about simply connecting it up to my usb port with some kind of an adaptor. But i was wondering about where I could get such a lead,and whether the power supply would be enough? Any ideas? Thanks! Neil  | ||

the hard drive out of your laptop is a small one? there is a number of ways you could do it: 1: Use it as an extra hard drive in a pc and get a IDE adapter. 2: get a IDE adapter and just conect it as a temp. 3: get a usb to IDE I am sure these are now out. are you in the uk? | ||
