I took the stock 10g Toshiba drive out of my Pismo recently (got a 20g, yay!), and I'm sitting here stuck with it.
I use my B&W as a server, and I am OUT of space. Can I put my laptop drive inside my B&W? If I can, how? The cables seemed to large to fit on the drive. Maybe an adapter? Any help is appreciated.

i dont think thats possible, even if you found some way to connect it to your b&w there is the problem with power, laptop drives and desktop drives have very diffrent power requirments

get a 2.5 inch firewire drive kit and use that, it'll even run off bus power

Those drives are SLOW. Why not one of the 40GB 60GXP's selling for $120? You'll get 30MB/s. The money to put that small slow drive in FW case would be as much as another drive. Or go SCSI. Or PCI IDE now that ATA/100 boards are available or soon will be.
