Using a Laptop Hard Drive in a PC

ska · 02-27-2005, 12:58 PM

I have a 60GB hard drive from my old laptop that i wish to use in my PC. The laptop hard drive is "ATA-5/6 IDE Interface" (apparently!) and the PC is regular IDE. Is it possible to get an adapter something similar to allow me to install it internally (i already have a USB adapter for it, but im looking for something more permanent).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
