Computer storage provides one of the core functions of the modern computer, that of information retention."\n\nIt can come in many different forms - Hard Drives, CD-Roms, DVD-Roms, Flash Memory, and more.

There are different types of hard drives, but usually the new ones come with an external enclosure with either a USB port or a Firewire (IEEE1394) port.  If you have a computer with either of these ports you are good to go.  Since I have a USB drive, I can provide you these steps:\n\nAssuming that you have switched on your computer, connect the hard drive to the power supply (some drives can directly take power from the USB cable and hence don't need to be connected to the power supply).  So verify first whether your drive needs a power supply.\n\nSecondly, connect the drive via a USB cable to the USB port of your computer.\n\nIf you have Windows XP, it will automatically recognize the drive as a USB device (so you don't have to install special drivers, if you are using Windows 98, you might have to install USB drivers that come with the external drive before connecting it to your PC).\n\nThats it, you are all set.  You can access the drive using Windows Explorer or My Computer and save files to it just like your computer's internal hard drive.

Internal drives referred or hard drive it's installed in your computer tower.  An external hard drive usually plugs and with the USB two or a FireWire cable.  The only real difference is, an external hard drive is much easier to install!  And you can take it with you when you go someplace.

Anything you could do with a 256 mb hard drive.  Store files, use it for backup, whatever.  Just plug it in and it will appear on "my computer" as a removeable disk.  Just be careful to not unplug it when it's reading or writing data.  Most of them will have a light that will flash when it's being accessed.

C Drive is your primary drive, which usually has your operating system.  What D drive is really depends on how you have partitioned your hard drive.  You can partition your hard drive space to form multiple drive letters.  If you have partitioned your hard drive, then D Drive is another part of your hard drive.  If you have not partitioned your hard drive space, then D Drive is probably your CD Rom drive or DVD drive.

A portable hard drive is an example of an external hard drive, but there are other kinds (non=portable external hard drives) too. \n\nHard drives are either external (separate from the computer) or internal (built into the computer). All portable hard drives are external. Not all external hard drives are portable.

The data on your hard drive is stored in a quite complicated structure. The largest block of this structure is a partition. It is an area of the physical disk, separated from the remaining disk space. There can be more partitions (separated areas) on one disk. The partitions are independent from each other and they appear as individual disks under Windows. Each partition can be formated to another file system(NTFS,FAT32...) and can be used completely separately (You can have more operating systems on more partitions.).\nMostly the disk is separated into two partitions, one for the OS and one for the data, but you can create as many partitions as you want to use them separately for storing different types of data.\nThe advantage of more partitions is that if you want to format one of them, you still maintain the data on the other one. Or you can put more operating systems on your PC by creating a partition for each OS.\nManaging partitions is quite easy. There are many programs to do this (one of them is even a part of the Windows installation).
