There are several solutions to this problem. You could get an external
USB casing (or firewire if you have it) and insert the desktop drive in
there. These usually use external powersupplies (AC Adapter) for their
power. There are also casings which don't need external power, but use
bus-power, but this is usually only for 2.5 inch drives.
Firewire can be quite expensive... but it's lots faster (if you have
firewire on your laptop)
