    you can, you might have to modify some pins on the harddrive but i think its just an ide laptop harddrive. if it works as a usb drive you might even want to stick linux on it and boot that way.

    if its a laptop harddrive then yes you can. You just need an adapter (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...ku=C184-17705).


    Alhough I think you will need to format it befor you can use it, so your music will be gone.
