At Circuit City, or some other computer store, there are kits sold that will make this easy. Find a kit that is an IDE to USB converter. All it is, is a cable that in one end will plug into the IDE on the internal hard drive and the other end is USB connector that will plug right into a USB port on your computer or laptop. There is also another cable that comes with the kit that is the power supply for the hard drive. This kits makes your internal hard drive into an external hard drive, but you will need a safe place to put the hard drive because of the exposed pieces. You can make a home made box just the right size with little holes for the cables to go through and of course a way to aerate the box. Also, it helps if your USB ports are USB 2.0 so that the data will travel fast enough.
