Ghosting a 2.5" HDD

[parkie]

Was thinking of upgrading the 20GB HDD in my girlfriends Laptop to something a bit more substantial, how do I go about this? Can I do it using my PC? What power connectors will the 2.5" drive use? Will a normal IDE cable do the trick? Actually, do they use the same power connecots as a floppy drive?

hope you can help

cheers

Laptop drives use a cage sort of thing, with the pins built in, and power and data is sent over that...

you can buy laptop to PC IDE cables over the net
