You can buy adaptors for the 2.5 hard drive that plugs on the end pins of the laptop hard drive, and the adaptor has a power connector. Some sell with drive rails too. I found mine on ebay for $6

Get a hard drive enclosure to USB adapter.
Take a look at this one.
BYTECC HD-201U2 (SILVER) Aluminum 2.5" USB2.0 mini External Enclosure - $18.99
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817145329&CMP=AFC-C8Junction&ATT=17-814-004
Then you can use that old hard drive as a backup, and it would be transportable.
Good luck and Happy Computing!

Get a USB hard drive enclosure.
You need one for a 2.5" drive, and you need to identify if the drive is PATA/IDE or is SATA.

you may desire to get a flash force or an exterior not undemanding force reckoning on the quantity of archives you prefer to flow. Plug it into the computer and replica each and every of the documents onto the force and then flow it to the own laptop. upload and save . Voila
