Recover data from laptop drive - how?

[saintvir]

One of my laptops conked out (motherboard gone kaput). I've pulled the hard drive off it and need to recover data from this drive (silly me - no backups made).

Is there an interface cable for this 2.5" hard drive that I can plug into my desktop's USB port that will then allow me to read this drive?

Thanks for the help.

Yes, there is. Depending on your drive type, IDE or SATA, here are two options.

SATA: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817816001
