Is there a way to connect a laptop hard drive to desktop computer?


Yes, you need an adapter to convert the connector basically.

Thanks! That is just what I was looking for.

I am having problems getting a restore CD to work on an IBM
thinkpad laptop computer. It has proprietary external CD rom
that does not want to play nice. I have a drive image of the
hard drive that I would like to get onto the laptop hard drive.


Yes, that is a viable way of doing what you want to do.
