Connecting an internal hard-drive externally...

[Jackie.Cane]

I recently removed a hard drive from an old damaged iBook, and now I would like to connect it to my new Mac externally.

Can some genius point me in the direction of a product that will allow me to do this?

Cheers for any advice!!

A external enclosure sounds like what you want. If it is just a regular 2.5 harddrive then the above is waht you want but if it is not a standard laptop hardrive then something similar

If you only want it connected to the new Mac sporadically or for a short while you can even forgo the enclosure and get a USB 2.0 to IDE cable.
