From what I have seen in Jungleflashers tutorial. You need windows xp if you are using a usb-sata converter. I've never tried it with a laptop. Good luck.

Laptop's themsel'fs have a low success rate... Ive only heard of 2 cases of people flashing with laptop's. I have never heard of a usb adaptor working.
Your best bet is to get a hold of a desktop pc, either through a friend, or your own if you have one.
