if it "doesnt work" , then you need something called USB TRANSFER KIT. Its a small USB circuit board that connects to laptop hard drives, and uses USB port to connect those hard drives. you also need a power adaptor with a molex (or sata) connector so you can power up the hard drive.
basically, u need to have that kit, otherwise some other way of taking out that old hard drive and connecting it to something/somewhere and transferring data over.
hey thanks
