If you have an old computer with a CD-ROM - save the CD/DVD Drive and create an external CD-ROM to use with your NetBook - the same principal apples to hard drives.

They recognise - and even boot to USB attached CD/DVD-ROM

• Retain the Old CD/DVD ROM Drive

• Purchase a USB TO IDE 2.5+3.5 connector - around AU$50
  • At the time of writing UMart have the Vantec device (link)

The SATA/IDE-USB Adapter gives you the flexibility of hot swap almost any type of drive to your computer via USB. These devices include external power adapter for the 3.5" drives, 2.5" (Notebook) will power from the USB port.
