Notebook hard disk to external?

if i buy new hard disk for my laptop.. can my current hard disk become external hard disk ?

Answers:
Ja! Sure! Absolutely.

Assuming you know how to take the harddrive out of your current laptop, the cost of converting the harddrive from the laptop to an USB2 powered external drive is roughly $40.

At CircuitCity / BestBuy / Fry's (or your favorite electronics outlet) you can pick up a 2.5" hard drive enclosure. (Typically laptop harddrives are 2.5" wide, and desktop harddrives are 3.5")

The instructions on how to enclose it comes in the package and really, it is pretty easy -- even a caveman can do it (OK, you know where I stole that from! ;)

Goodluck on the HD conversion, &
Congrats on the new laptop...
yes, you can buy a hard drive enclosure for it. laptop hard drives are 2.5" so something like this would work http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/mad-dog-m...
yea you can... really easy like the other person before me stated...
yerp... just get the casing... make sure u tell the salesman that its a notebook harddisk size... u might be able 2 get it 4 RM50 at Low Yat...
