Need To Get Files Off Hard Disk!

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone can help me out here. I have an internal hard disk from a desktop PC which I don’t have anymore. It’s an 80GB IDE hard disk which is packed full with music and documents and that. My question is, is there a device or dock that I could get to put my hard drive into in which I could then transfer all my data to my laptop? I know I could install it into another desktop and burn my data to DVDs but all my friends have laptops. All ideas are greatly appreciated.

Thanks a million!
 
What zues mentioned will work ok but ideally, you'd be looking for a enclosure.
This way, it's safe from most things a non-enclosed drive is. Something like This would be fine.

i think he wants it for temorary purposes as he's jus gonna bak up his data so the suggestion was fine but i think this is better. coa if he doesnt want to use the enclosure he can still use the back ide/power plug. get it quick though
