Can I put a Sandisk U100 ATA SSD (128gb) in an old Lenovo Thinkpad X61s?

Hi,

Recently I was DJing in a bar and a huge speaker fell on my beloved ASUS UX31E, crushing part of it. The damage isn't anywhere near where the SSD drive is so I'm fairly sure it is unharmed.

Anyway I need to replace the whole laptop as there's no chance of repair. What I'm considering doing is buying an old Lenovo Thinkpad ('cos I love thinkpads to death), ripping the old 128GB Sandisk U100 ATA SSD out of the ASUS and putting it into the Lenovo.

What I'm not sure about is if the ATA connectors in the Lenovo will accept the new drive or if I'll have to buy some kind of adapter?

any ideas?
