You seem to have misunderstood the instructions from Pegasus.

1. You need to purchase an external USB 2.5 inch hard drive
enclosure. See http://www.xpcgear.com/ue240enclosure.html for an
illustration of this type of device.

2. You need to remove the hard drive from your laptop and install it
into the enclosure. Then you can connect it to your PC.

Good luck
