I'm not affiliated with Okion in any way, but they do make an excellent device (if you can get hold of one) called a DriveWalker. Neater, for what you want to do, than a USB-IDE enclosure, because it's just the pluggable interface (and an extra power supply for the 3.5" disks) which you can get for ide, laptop ide and sata, normally with two of the aforementioned interfaces on one device. I've had to do a lot of testing / development of installation procedures for laptop drives, and this is how we do it -- for more than 8000 machines so far.

Am I the only one to find it highly ironic that the spokesperson from the ESA's Oceans/Ice Unit is called "Mark Drinkwater"?
Ice Unit? Drink water?
