certain prograns work on an external hard and certain things don't. If you have office part of it on one drive and one on the external hard drive then it will give you problems. If you install sims on it then it will work. Just don't spilt programs up on seperate drives.

get a NAS (network attached storage) device case.  hawking technologies makes a decent one.  basically you just enclose your hard drive in the NAS case.  \n\ntake your hard drive out of the current enclosure and put it into the NAS.

Yes you sure can. All you need is an enclosure for it. It will house the HD and allow you to connect it to a USB port.

I have seen some models with 60Gb/100Gb IDE drives.  The 60Gb disks were 4200RPM.  Most likely to be 2.5" disk drives.\n\nHowever, if you want higher storage capacity then try external hard disk drives.  These can plug into the USB ports. You have the option of using either 2.5" disk drives(expensive) or 3.5" disk drives(cheaper, used in desktops).  You can have upto 200/250Gb or even 400Gb depending on your budget.\n\nBattery Wizard\nhttp://www.ComputerBatteries.co.uk

I work in a computer store and this is really a matter of opinion.  Every day I meet people who hate WD and love Seagate or Maxtor and vice versa.  It's like asking what's better Ford or Chevy.  I would do some searching and try to find out which has the lowest defect rate.  My experience is they are all about the same.  I would say WD will give you better performance (make sure you buy an 8 or 16MB cache, not 2, and if you have SATA, buy a SATA2 drive with the 3Gbps transfer rate, it's compatabile with SATA1 and about the same price.)  Seagate has a five year warranty which is hard to pass up.

As long as you have drivers for it, but that's old technology. You can get a larger storage thumb drive that works easier and faster for less than $50

I don't think you lose anything, other than it taking a little of your time.  I'd recommend going with a reputable case vendor rather than buying a cheap one.  I've been very happy with the external drives I've got from Other World Computing (link below) and the cases they sell are the same ones they use on their external drives.  Despite their name, the drives work fine on PCs as well as Macs - - in fact, I have one of their drives on both a PC and a Mac at the moment.

I would assume you got that on ebay from hong kong...they compress the drive to make it hold more and when you format it you take it back to its orriginal/correct size....you got screwed! I have not figuered out how to make it take 2 gigs again....I run a computer shop and I just had a customer with the same problem.\n\n-Doc-

You can get like a 200gig external hard drive for like 80bucks.

Yes, you will not have to worry about compatibility unless you were to pickup a laptop model instead of a standard desktop hard drive.  I would get a 7200rpm.  Personally I would recommend a Seagate Barracuda as they are known for being fairly quiet.  Save up enough money for the right size hard drive so you don't have to replace it in a year again.

You mean SATA II hard drives. Well SATA II hard drives are the most common for home PCs and it is actually very common since it is one of the only types you can get for a home PC. The reason you are having trouble finding your hard drive is due to the size you want it to be. Most PCs carry only a 250 GB or 300 GB hard drive. Rarely could you buy a PC that carries anything larger. Therefore you would rarely find one for sale at that size. What you may want to do is buy two 250GB SATA II drives for a combination of 500GB. This may cost a bit more though unless you pre-order these 500 GB drives, you won't have much selection in normal electronic stores.\n\nEDIT: When you are looking for hard drives, make sure you are looking for internal hard drives, and for desktop PCs.

It should work... I had an 80 gb hooked up to my Duron 700.  It all depends on the motherboard, that's what recognizes the hard drive.\n\nPost your computer make & model # and it can be looked up for you if you want.  But I think you would be safe...

i would go for Maxtor, Seagate or WesternDigi\nalmost same quality, but i think WesternDigi is the cheaper one..\n80Gb or 100Gb should be below 100$ with a normal casing
