Yes, but it's done more manually
The external haedisc is actually spelled external hard disc. An external hard disc allows an individual to hook it to their computer or information source and save the information that is important on the external hard disc drive and not risk loosing any if something happens to the main hard disc source.
NO. Sux Dont' it.
Most external hard drives can be used as internal ones. Provided that the IDE, SATA, or SCSI interface of the external hard drive is the same as the desktop's system board hard drive interface. Users can remove the USB casing and proceed to plug the data and power cables into it. The external drive, just has an additional component, that's used to hook up with the USB port.
just hook it up to the usb ports and then go to system settings and then storage devices and then select your external hard drive.
You cannot hook up a hard drive directly to a cable box.
IDE 0 always has the designation C. Its a throwback to the days when computers were single or dual floppy drive only and they had (and still have) designations A and B. Hook up the external drive, go into the BIOS and select the external as the drive to boot from. Save the change and allow the computer to boot. Load the OS and it should defer to the external drive.
although USB's can, hard drives can't Oh heck ya, if it's an internal HD then just buy a bare External HD "Enclosure", put the hard drive in it and hook it to the computer. Have the Anti-Virus scan the hard drive. If it's an external HD, just plug it into another computer with the Anti-Virus software active.
It depends on what failed. If the enclosure failed, then you can probably just hook the HD up internally or to another enclosure. If the HD failed, then it's unlikely that you can salvage the information without professional intervention.
you take the right side of the console off and put your hard drive in
Hook up a USB cable from the system to your hard drive or laptop.
it distributes the electrical curent to the different components of the PC such as DVD rom, external lights, , and the parallel ports where you hook the monitor and keyboards and mouse and of course to the hard drive.
It depends on what type of computer you have, but generally, yes. If you have a desktop computer and it has a single hard drive, then more than likely it has a second slot inside where you can add a second hard drive. There will already be an IDE cable inside that allows you to hook the second hard drive up to your computer. If you have a laptop, then you probably can't add a second internal hard drive because there is not room in the case. However, you can add an external hard drive. These are small self-contained units that connect to your computer with a USB cable and allow you to store additional information.
