Getting harder and harder to find PATA hard drives these days.

Thank you so much for the quick reply! If anybody can help me find an adapter, that would really be a better option for me i think, i don't have very much money to fix this right now.... but i can get a newer hard drive from a friend who repairs laptops.

You will need to be a little more specific on what kind of adapter you are talking about.
Pata to Sata?
ATA100 to ATA133?

well, from what i understand,the old drive was a ATA-100. so i guess then i would need an ata100 to sata adapter?

I honestly don't believe there is an adapter that would suite your purposes. You can do it on a desktop, but I think for a laptop you're stuck with a native PATA drive. There simply isn't enough room to fit an adapter on a notebook.
You could choose one of these in mulitple sizes as well:
