I've been using it, but not opening the bottom of the laptop to blow it through.

My current Laptop is an HP G60. Nothing fancy so probably not super complicated to get open. The previous laptop was an Acer (never again).
Your old laptop probably has a different interface since it's so old. You'd need an IDE (pata) 2.5" interface like this one:

Your harddrive in your G60 is just under that big rectangle at the bottom. Ram is in the middle. Wireless card next to that. All the panels come off by removing one or two screws.
