Sorry, this is probably a "no duh" question, but I'm not sure if this will work. Can I use a regular PATA ribbon cable to connect an ATA-6 drive from a laptop to my desktop PC? I have a friend with an older notebook (XP Home with AMD Athlon XP mobile proc) with a hard drive on the verge of failure and he wants his files backed up before it all goes. The alternative is for me to pull everything off his drive one at a time with my flash drive which wouldn't be much fun.
Thanks in advance!
