Bootable FlashDrive / USB 2.0 cable

Going to try creating one for my cousin at home. Oh well after reading more about it, I decided not to create one. The reason is simple, he doesn't want to format his drive.  One of my techie friends suggested me to get a Sabrent USB 2.0 to IDE/SATA cable for him.  The cable supports all OS (dual voltages). All you need to do is to take out the notebook hard drive then plug the cable to other machine to back up data.

 The price is reasonable ($19-25).  The shipping cost to my country, however, is way too expensive. :D
