Pins on a laptop HD (being much smaller in size to fit IN a laptop) are not the same as a standard IDE HD found in most PC's

The adapter shown above will work. You connect that to the laptop HD, and your desktop IDE cable and power connect to the adapter.

Well, let's be precise. The pinout is the same, but the pin spacing is wrong.
