If your intention is to recover data or use it as an external storage device these should work. It won't boot from it as is, however. You are right that the hardware or laptop forums would be better for your question but many folks seem to get around all of them. Good luck.
Ugh !
Old Toshiba laptop died during electric storm,
but the HDD is still good.
How can i attach old HDD to new laptop?
Old HDD is a Toshiba XP 20gig HDD2164 H ZEO1 T
new (2003) laptop is Toshiba Satellite XP 40gig
A1- S129 ,
with parallel, video, 2 USB ports,Dvd/cd-RW,
no Floppy Drive.
Is there such a (laptop) hdd to usb adapter cable, or an external case for mini HDD?
If i am in the wrong Forum, please advise.
Thanks!
