You need to a USB to SATA/IDE adapter.
You can find them cheaper than $20. Like this one on Amazon for $15. Here another USB to SATA/IDE one for $10.
I found a great video that explains the entire processing from connecting your hard drive to your laptop USB.
2Sure you can do it! And I advise to have such a connector at home for emergency situations. Try something like this SATA TO USB ADAPTER
You can connect it but with usb adapters see below links
2nd way is to buy a crossover lan cable, share the data and copy all of it. It is cheapest
I got one of these almost two years ago and it's been perfect for connecting arbitrary hard drives via USB. Supports both SATA and older IDE drives.
Try Terabyte 2 in 1 External Hard Drive Casing .
Just check this unboxing video, you can find similer unboxing videos in your own language also.
