Laptop externa HD how to

[MultiGroup]

I have anolder laptop that has a 2Gb HD, but I want something a bit larger (10-20GB) but I want to make it an external drive.

First of all can this be done by using a desktop drive and other hardware? I would prefer it to be USB...

If it can be done does anybody know how to, wha is needed?

The laptop is a toshiba Satellite 2500 CDS...


Thanks
