Yes, with a 40-to-44-pin IDE adapter.  The pins on a 2.5-inch laptop 
drive are spaced closer together than on a 3.5-inch drive.

Before doing that, though, it's worth downloading a copy of the FreeSBIE 
CD and booting with that:

Even if you can't mount the hard drive, you at least ought to be able to 
dd data from it.
