    Is there any such adapter to install my fairly new 7200rpm ATA hard drive in to my new SATA laptop? I had it in my old laptop for a short while.

    I don't think so, though I could be wrong.

    There are no adapters if you want to use it inside the laptop. But you still can connect it through the usb port with appropriate adapter.
