internal harddrive for external use?????????

[heatherhunt21]

Hello Eveyone!!!
I have a Sony Vaio laptop. it is an older computer but runs pretty good. I just don't have enough hard drive space. I have two hard drives for a desktop computer though and I was wondering if i could hook them up to my laptop and use them as external hard drive. (of course only want to use one)they are not external hard drives though. i dont know a lot about computers but i do know enough to get me through the process of hooking a hard drive up. if you could please help!!!!!!!!!!!!

It should work with a hard drive enclosure, but these are usually USB 2 or Firewire. It sounds like you may have USB 1.1 on that Sony, so if it is functional and lightning speed is not essential, it should be OK.
