Hmm...  I don't know anything about the Targa model itself, but you may want to make sure that it's only a HD CADDY it's missing, and not a machine that will only use a HD in a proprietary cartridge.  I've seen several laptops in which if you lose or break that cartridge, you're stuck.  (There's a proprietary connector inside the computer, and good luck ever finding something to fit it!)  I have no idea if that is the case here.  It's actually pretty rare to see a machine like that, but you might want to research it.

Targa uses standard 2.5" IDE HD's, so you should do fine.

Heck, if you need one, I've got a pile of them here.
