    1 of 2 options.

    1.You can buy a external enclosure for the 2.5 drive. *make sure you know whether the drive is SATA or IDE* visably IDE has two rows of pins, and SATA has one long strip and one short strip.

    2. You can go on newegg.com and buy a data transfer cable.


    I use this cable quite often at work but you also need a AC adapter with molex end + SATA adapter if you need it.
