Hello,
Can anyone tell me or show me a pic of an ATA hard disk vs. an IDE hard disk...(really need to see the "plug" difference).
2.5" if possible..although size doesn't really matter !

| From what I know IDE and ATA are the same interface. Don't you mean PATA and SATA? |

IDE == ATA.
Did you mean SATA (Serial ATA)?
ETA: Too late!

Here are some Wikipedia articles with pictures, Parallel ATA (PATA) and Serial ATA (SATA).

What is the basic type drive that comes out of a toshiba or dell laptop?
Is it the IDE / ATA type?
Is this a correct adapter to put my old 2.5" disk in?

Yeah, how old is the lappy? Or better yet, what make/model is it?
