can i just hook up a laptop hdd in a desktop machine?
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.
