I'm assuming that you want to use an internal HDD with your TiBook. What you can do, is get a USB/Firewire HDD Enclosure. This will allow you to put an internal HDD into it, and connect the box via firewire/usb. It will appear as a normal external HDD.

Be sure to check the type of connections (It's usually IDE) and make sure that the enclosure supports that size of disk -- Some have limits.

RE: Convert intern HDD to external HDD
I really like the enclosures from Bytecc, I use the ME-740B when ever I upgrade my internal HDD and put the old drive in an enclosure such as this one or when I need additional storage space, it is also nice because it has Firewire and USB connectors: http://www.byteccusa.com/product/enclosure/ME-740B.htm
Hope this helps. Cheers.
