Copy Hard Drives in Laptop

[micker377]

I would like to put a larger HDD in my Gateway Solo 2500. I have managed to copy info from older Laptop HDD's, but I don't know if they make an adapter for this tiny thing. Laptop HDD's don't have master/slave.

Adapter for what ?
An adapter for an external Harddrive or just some thing to make it possible to copy file to your laptop ???
If you just wants files copyed you can do it through the parallel port , seriel port , USB or Netcard with a suitable cable (PC to PC) and a program like FastLynx :

Note : do NOT attempt to use standard USB cables it must be made for PC to PC transferrence (got some electronics built in)

Haven't seen that hard drive, but if it has a 46 pin interface there is an adapter that will allow you to put it on a system with 40 pin IDE cables.
Do a google search for "hard drive adapter". You should hit several.

That will allow you to shuffle data around.

My bad - ignore everything! After removing the HDD from the laptop I found that it is the same pinout as the old style. What threw me off is the size of the drives (old style is 19mm thick and the new one is only 9.5 mm thick. Add that to the hidden mounting of the new one. I did what I tell everyone else (RTFM), and found the specs of both.
