The special adapter only works with the cabling on a desktop system. The laptop has to have the small hardware adapter for the drive.

    try this then, see if you can get an IDE to USB adapter, or buy a Desktop HD size external HD case, and use to chip to use a IDE to USB adapter and then plug THAT in the laptop, that should work or use the adapter to the chip in the external HD case, and make that HD portable.
