Are you looking to install it temporarly or permanently? If it's just to hook it up all you need is a laptop IDE adaptor. Memory express and almost any other computer store should sell them.

I want a permanent solution, not a temporary one.

Although... why would you permanently mount a laptop hard drive in a desktop? Desktop drives are much faster and cheaper.

Thaco is right - space is an issue in my case, plus I have a spare 80gig laptop HD sitting here and doing nothing. I'd rather rig in a laptop HD than buy a new case etc.
