2.5" laptop drives use a modified PATA (parallel ATA) interface. I have a very cheap adaptor that transforms the pins and power connections to be compatible with the regular PATA interface found on computer mother-boards and in IDE drive housings. Just ask at a good computer shop, it shouldn't cost more then US$5.
