I have a working pata hdd, i want to use it as a external drive for my lappy. Any good reliable adapters available?

No, chinese ones are the only option.
I bought one 5 years back .. it was made techcom and the price was 350 bucks .. good thing is everything worked fine with tht and now I use it's PCB and cables with a IDE DVD RW drive
^^ I have a techcom adapter . but it is not Linux supported !!
I saw a techcom adapter but it was for sata disks, can anyone tell me where can i find something like that for pata hdds?

Tech market or DX(dot)com.
^ Thanks bro
once you install the HDD inside of the closure it becomes a USB portable HDD .. so it should work with any linux distro provided the kernel version supports this .. use any latest distro.
I have been used Ubuntu 10.04 !!

You sir deserve an award...
I wish I had that pc...
After 50 years if it is still in working condition, it will be going to museum and you get money
Does that have turbo button
So, are you planning to overclock it?

Although the machine isn't functional, I have a P2 machine with 32MB RAM and working 2GB HDD lying around. Bought it back when I was in class 2.

but you get 100 rupees for ups batteries.
try some most recent version as that version may contain some bug and instead of ubunty if possible give Knoppix a go.
