[QUOTE="mrplow, post: 1227162, member: 38928"] I'd help to know if the drive is a SATA or PATA drive - I imagine it's SATA but need to be sure. It'll say on the label. Once you know you just need a USB enclosure as you've mentioned. They'll pretty much all do the trick. I'm from the UK and not familiar with your local suppliers. Guessing at USA from the $ but I guess you could be from any number of countries that use the dollar. Anyway (rambling again), here's an example of a SATA 2.5" enclosure: [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817729011&cm_re=2.5%22_enclosure-_-17-729-011-_-Product]Newegg.com - acomdata HDEXXUP-240 2.5" Black USB 2.0 Enclosure Kit[/url] You just open it up slide the drive in, close it back up and connect the USB cable to your Mac. It'll just show up as an external drive. Very simple to do. [/QUOTE]
