You can purchase an external drive case to convert your old drive to an external USB drive. Just make sure you scan the drive with up to date virus protection before you accidentally copy an infected file to you new drive!

As the above poster suggested, buy one of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817388010

Install the laptop old hard disk inside the enclosure, and connect it to the computer.
