What kind of 2.5" HD adapter do I need?

Hello,
I decided to replace HD in my laptop. It is HP Pavilion DV2000. I need
some kind of adapter to connect it to my desktop (my desktop have SATA
and IDE drives) to clone the old HD to a new one.
It says my disk is SATA Serial - but I see it is not regular SATA
adapter.
Here are pictures of my HD:

Any idea what kind adapter do I need?
Thanks,

Can you not network your laptop and desktop with an ethernet cable?[1] You
can then use Ghost (or equivalent) to make an image of the laptop's old HD
on the desktop - then replace the HD and and clone the image onto the new
one. That's whet I did when I upgraded my laptop's HD.
[You'll need to create a bootable system on a floppy (or other bootable
media recognised by the laptop's BIOS) containing PC-DOS, Ghost.exe and
support for a network connection].
[1] If it's a direct connection, you'll need a crossover cable but it goes
via a hub or wired router, you won't.
