USB Hard disk on the cheap 101 things to do with a dead laptop.

USB HD :-)

A scrap IBM thinkpad fell into my lap --- beyond repair --- usual laptop write off damaged screen. Out came the hard disk. Then I was straight on to Ebay and for the princely sum of £1 + £6.00 p&p (with insurance !!!!) came a 2.5 hard disk enclosure. A bit of cursing as the wrong drivers supplied and it is now working under both Linux and Win98
