Well, you would have to get a modular device for it of some sort I would think. Like on my laptop I can either have 2 batteries attached, or 1 battery and cd/dvd/second hard drive. I don't think there are any laptops out there that can support 2 drives internally are there? :unsure: I'd look for modular internal attachments which can house the hd so you'll be able to run both at once. Or an external USB enclosure is an option as well.

Well then, didn't know... if its for your desktop just get a IDE converter to go from laptop IDE to standard IDE along with power and hook it up like this. Format with Windows or the many other apps. It will work in your computer and be recognized as a standard drive! Sry, I just assumed that since it was a laptop drive you wanted it in a laptop.
