How do you change a internal hard drive to a external hard drive?
The easiest way to make an internal hard drive portable is to purchase what's called a hard drive enclosure. Hard drive enclosures are kits that have everything you need to make your own portable hard drive. Make sure you get a hard drive enclosure that matches the size and interface type as your hard drive, as well as the means of connectivity that you wish. As an example, you can have a 3.5" IDE hard drive enclosure that connects to your computer with a USB cable. Most computer stores have hard drive enclosure. The best place to get one is probably tigerdirect.com. There are many of them available on eBay.

My external hard drive keeps shutting off on me It stays on for a while but then shuts off How can you fix this?
There may be several causes: The AC power connector (if it uses a "wall wart" instead of having power internally), overheating, or the circuitry in the enclosure itself is going bad (which can happen in a few years depending on the brand). It would be easier to help you if I knew exactly what type of enclosure is giving you this problem.The best thing (but may not be the easiest if you're not familiar with taking computers apart) is to remove the drive from the enclosure and see if your computer can access the drive without the enclosure. If it can, then either put the drive in your computer or buy a hard drive enclosure (with a fan) and put your drive in it.--The Chief Geek
The hard drive is not included. This is just an enclosure. Once you add a drive and plug it into a USB port, It would show up under my computer as a drive letter.?
