Hi,

Thank you for your reply.

I've bought both  the parts you mentioned in your post below and decided to give it ago but unfortunatley when I connect the hdd up to the laptop it's not detecting it. Is there anything i need to enable in the bios? . The hdd is in good working worder as i hooked it up to a usb adapter and it reads well.  

Thanks

Is it a bootable HDD ? if yes, pleas re initialize it and put back. It is a very old HDD do you know what is it (model, vendor).
