How can i install an external HD on my laptop

[toniniman]

Dears,
Can anyone explain to me, how i can install a HD on my laptop, what i would like to do is:
Open up my damaged HD and take out the Hard drive Storage Memory and install it on my laptop to see if i can recover some data out of it.
Hope this is clear.
Thanks for anyone helping here.

You need to put the HDD into an external enclosure or a hard drive dock such as one of these:

If you buy an enclosure, make sure it's the right size for your drive - they come in different sizes for 3.5" desktop drives versus 2.5" laptop drives.

This is the easiest "no tools" solution:

Thanks everyone, at the end i managed with a recovery tool to recover all the 650 GB in my crashed HD.
