Is there a way of connecting a SATA HDD in place of an IDE?
Dell Latitude D600 is the laptop in question.

Nope. If your laptop is ATA/IDE then SATA HD is a no-go.

You could get one of [b][url= http://www.cclonline.com/product-info.asp?product_id=51552&category_id=505&manufacturer_id=0&tid=25m1s ]these[/url][/b] and use it as an external drive.

Thanks, you see I have a working laptop but thought it'd be good to have a separate HDD for work.
