How to Use a Laptop Hard Drive Enclosure

Step 1:
Remove the hard drive from the old laptop if necessary. Since laptop sized hard drive enclosures are generally very thin, it may be necessary to remove any caddy holding the hard drive.

Step 2:
Connect the adapter on the top lid of the enclosure to the hard drive. Make sure it seats well, but don’t use excessive force.

Step 3:
Slide the hard drive into the enclosure until the lid is seated in place. If provided, screw the small screws in the proper holes to hold everything in place.

Step 4:
Attach one end of the USB cord to the enclosure and the other end to your laptop.

Step 5:
Boot your computer normally. You should be able to find the extra hard drive in "My Computer."
