Adapter for 1.8 IDE HDD

[bhaskar198]

WELL, I have an old ipod classic laying around my home, which doesn't start( probably dead battery) and there are no service centres near my place. I decided to open it up and use the hdd instead. But i found that its not a micro sata but some sort of micro ide. Anybody knows about any adapter to connect it to my pc's sata or usb port?

you need a PC with ATA port(s) and suitable 2.5" IDE cable or another adapter for 2.5" to 3.5" ATA
