I have a couple of adapters that let me connect SATA or IDE drives to my computers via a USB cable. You should be able to buy the adapter at almost any "real" computer store. If all else fails, send it to me and I'll do it for you no charge.

This is the type of adapter I am referring to: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-102-_-Product

This would be by far the easiest way to do it. If you're planning on being in the Lafayette area soon, let me know. I work in Lafayette and can also hook you up.
