Most laptops have user removable hard drives; Dell's even now ship
replacement drives under warranty direct to our consultants who swap out the
drive themselves.
I've purchased 2 1/2" to regular desktop IDE adapters that work like a champ
to hook up laptop drives to desktop PC's. You'd just remove the hard drive,
plug in the adapter, and plug into a desktop spare IDE connector.
Dell replaceable hard drives used to come with a PCMCIA card that had a
laptop sized hard drive adapter cable so you could hook up your hard drive
to another laptop.
There's always options.
