if talking about the actual laptop hd than get a 2.5" external usb case as i use 1 for my 40gig wd laptop hd on customers' computers. they are about $30 & can get them at computer stores.

might cost you $5-10 to buy that adapter but might cost more for the parts as i have 1 of those adapters. the pins on the laptop hd is smaller in dimensions than a regular ide connector.
