I have laptop with an external e-sata/USB combo port. I have an internal Seagate SATA drive removed from another laptop. I want to recover the data in this disc. Is it possible to connec t this hardisk through the e-SATA port? If so, what cable would I need to connect in?

A: 

You need a SATA-to-eSATA cable for the data. It's pretty standard. It's getting power to the drive that can sometimes be a challenge.

Alternatively, get an external enclosure, or a SATA-compatible dock. I use this one, and have had no troubles with it.
