The laptop Hdd is: 2.5" HDD, 20GB, Fujitsu, MHR2020AT

http://tinyurl.com/6b4kp6

My pc is: Epox ex5-320n

The 2.5 hdd is detected in bios, there was windows xp on the 2.5 hdd before and i am trying to install same win xp pro on it.

The link you gave for the converter is the exact one i bought from ebay.

I connected my original hdd back and this time i put the 2.5 on the dvd drive ide and then i right clicked my computer -> manage - > disk utilities and i formatted the drive in there.

I then reconnected the dvd drive and connected the 2.5 hdd by replacing the original hdd on primary ide but the same thing happens. I cannot partition it.
