Installation of the Hard Drive to USB adapter without violating any Qualcomm patents.

I am pretty sure it is, but just thought I’d get a little more input… It’s an HP Nx9010 laptop, 2.4 ghz, Mobil Intel Pentium 4, used but in excellent condition, 80gig hard drive, cdrw/dvd rom, 512mb ram, ATI video card, 3 usb ports, 15inch display, built in wireless adapter, battery, power supply, has Windows XP Professional installed, and battery holds a good charge. —->0.00

What do you think?

Ok so about 9 months ago my old computer crashed, it was some custom built one with a samsung SP1213N internal hdd.

I never really new what the problem was, I am not that tech savvy but it was christmas time so I just got a good deal on a new laptop.

Now recently it has come to my attention that i can retrieve files from this dead computer’s hard drive , using a cable that would turn it into a external hard drive that I could just plug in to my laptop’s usb.

Would a USB 2.0 to IDE ATA External Hard Disk CD-ROM DVD Drive Adapter Converter Cable work for a samsung SP1213N?

Please I really need help because I had allot of important pictures on that computer like family stuff and some writing.

I just bought a IBM 560e thinkpad. It doesn’t have a USB port or cd-rom. If i buy a USB SATA IED, would i be able to hook up my cd-rom and hard drive to my laptop. With the USB outlet, would i be able to hook up my devices that have USB to this USB port.
