    The likes of a computer repair shop would do that for you.
    A1 computers did it for me a few years back. (Not cheap)

    Or you could do it yourself. Pick up a transfer kit. There are plenty on the market.

    Please note- I'm unfamiliar with the dell inspiron 1501 so it may not be an IDE to USB you require.

    I am assuming its an IDE drive if its that old, something like
    this

    may be what you need. If you were in Galway I'd lend you one !

    I got one of these the other day for a job I needed to do - I know it will come in handy in the future also .

    Cheaper ones out there but I don't always think cheaper is best .
