Laptop Haddrive to Tower PC
 

Hi everyone, a silly question. Is there a way to install a laptop hardrive into a PC station?

The laptop is a:
Toshiba Satalite Pro 430
Intel Pentium I 250 mhz
Running windows 98

The hard drive in question, that i want to reformat, is MK1301MAV. Is there a way to install this hard drive as an IDE device?


Thanks,

Fox.

Yes
 

Look around the net for a converter they typically run about $30 and will convert the laptop IDE cable (which is self powered and cable select by default) to a normal 40/80pin requiring a 4pin Molex and Master/Slave/CableSelect Jumpering.
