If your Hard Drive pins look like this - http://cgi.ebay.com/120GB-NOTEBOOK-LAPTOP-HARD-DRIVE-120-GB-ATA-IDE-2-5-NEW_W0QQitemZ370087750379QQihZ024QQcategoryZ158853QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting then you can buy a Hard Drive Enclosure like this one http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/Product.aspx?C=1289&ID=1645 it will take SATA and PATA and connect it to USB or e-SATA. But if the hard drive is proprietary then you should call your notebook company and ask for the adaptor.

you can use a product like this one to pull the info off of the hard drive via USB. I have used a similar product several times. It just takes a minute to detect the hard drive so don't panic if it doesn't pull it up lightning quick
