∙ 13y agoAs long as they use the same data connector, yes. However, you will likely not be able to use the hard drive, as Windows XP will not usually work when transferred to another computer, and Windows Me cannot read the NTFS file system. Reinstalling Windows XP or formatting the hard drive in Windows Me will resolve these respective issues.

A Hard Disk Drive (HDD for short) stores your files. In most computers running Windows, your primary hard drive is represented by your C: drive.
The type of hard drive depends on the computer, not the operating system.
You can certainly move Windows to an external hard drive but Windows will not boot directly from an external drive. If you are running Windows in Parallels (See links below) you can have Parallels installed on the Mac's drive and then have your Windows virtual machine on the external drive.
When you buy a new Windows XP computer, in what unit is the size of a typical hard drive measured?
No. In sleep the RAM and network cards keep running, but nit the hard-drive. In hibernate everything powers down, after data on RAM is stored on the hard-drive. Either way, the hard drive turns off.
YES
In our old computer I put a SEAGATE 500 gig External Hard Drive. The computer was windows XP Is it a working chance to use the external hard drive From The system i first installed it.
There is no such thing as a "Mac" or a "Windows" hard drive. From a technological standpoint the hard drives found in Macintosh computers and those found in computer running Windows are identical. Any hard drive with the corresponding interface (SATA, IDE in older Macs, and most SCSI drives in really old Macs) can be used in either computer. The partition table and file system used by each operating system is generally not readable by the other, but the hard drive itself can be formatted and repurposed.
I use a Windows 7 HDD drive in my home computer. It is fast, and reliable.
