Question: moving laptop hard drive

[CharonM72]

I'm trying to recover data from an ooooooold early '90s Toshiba laptop whose battery is entirely dead. I managed to remove the hard drive to connect it internally to a desktop via IDE but of course the port is laptop-sized and won't fit with the IDE ribbon connector in the desktop. Do you guys think this would work?

To be hones, I don't know why would you even wont so old HDD. There is a great probability of it failing.

It's for my employer. She has important data on it, and I need to recover it.
