How can I connect a desktop IDE ATA HDD to my notebook?
My notebook’s HDD broke. It was an IDE ATA 40gb. Notebook is a Fujitsu lifebook S-4510. I would like to connect a Desktop Hdd to it. I guess I cannot do it through USB because the bios wouldn’t see it as a main disk to boot from it. I guess I have to connect it through the internal connector for HDD but it’s different from the desktop’s hdd. Is there some conversor for both connectors to do this? Otherwise, how can I do it? Thanks!
There probably exists a 2.5″ to 3.5″ ATA converter, but I’m not sure it would be a really good idea to use it.
The notebook interface has power built-in, unlike the separate 4-pin connector on a Desktop Drive. Even if the power could be routed, it would not be much (only a few skinny lines, and +5V only, not 12V, I think). And then, desktop drives are built for performance, more than power saving, so it would drain your battery really fast. And the solution would no longer be portable.
If it were me, I’d just buy a low-end notebook drive for about $50 and be done with it.
