Only if your Toshiba motherboard also supports SATA devices (which according to this link, it does have a SATA HDD):

Are you sure you have a PATA HDD?

Not unless the laptop has a SATA controller...

COLGeek is correct.(I've GOT to remember to refresh before posting)

Also I am not aware of a PATA SSD..
