I have a friend that had his laptop HDD crash. I am going to attempt to
retrieve data from the disk but I am unsure if a Laptop SATA drive can
connect directly to a SATA port (using a cable) to my desktop system (so
it can act as a data shunt to an EXT HDD). Does anyone know if this is
possible or if there is a special cable or adapter I need to purchase?
I will be using a WinXP machine as the data transfer machine.

THANKS!

Michael

P.S. Remove the "[" "]" and word "remove" from the email to send a
reply directly to me if you prefer.
 
A Laptop SATA connector is the same a a Desktop SATA connector
