Yes. If its ide, then you need a 2.5" to 3.5" ide adapter. If its sata, you just plug directly.

in any case you'll also need a stand to put the 2.5" HD in the 3.5" bay

What do you mean it is off topic? I thought he was trying to get his laptop HD to work in his desktop system.

you could just put the hard drive in an external enclosure if all you need is to get files off of it and don't need to use it permanently in your computer
