Recovering Laptop Hard Drive?

[Computear]

My laptop is completely fried I can't even get it to boot anymore (water spilled on it). I'm 94.3% sure the hard drive was undamaged, is there an adapter I can buy to connect a laptop hard drive to my desktop?

You do not have to purchase that exact one, you may also see if you can pick one up at your local computer store.

but $40 meh can anybody find a cheaper one?

The notebook drive is a 120GB 2.5" SATA... need an adapter from that to USB or whatever so I can access my files and move them to my desktop.

Both the laptop & the desktop have Windows Vista Home Premium 64bit.


I suppose with 1 of these I'll also need a USB2 to USB2 cord too ? hmm might have 1 laying around

It does not matter if it supports Vista or not. It considers the device a USB Mass Storage device, the operating system on the drive has nothing to do with this.

The one that I posted I actually own, works great. Comes with all the cables and such that you might need.
