The only problem with that is that the OP is trying to
recover data of the disk. :-)
That what I'm aware about, Take the old cable from the notebook and
assemble homemade IDE adapter and supply 5V. Just mind the correct
grounds pattern and such. Matches the notebook 44 pin IDE pin out
exactly but just the pin spacing is different.
Cheers, Wizard

It's not the same sized connector as a
2.5" laptop IDE. I'd guess it's
about 1/2 to 2/3 the width. It could have the same pinout, though...

This is really a 44 pin IDE squeezed together.
Put in a flash CF with adapter instead. I successfully did one with 2.5" HD
in one long ago.
