The head(s) in floppy drives make physical contact with the floppy disk surface, while the heads in hard disk drives fly over the hard disk surface on a cushion of air created by the platter rotation speed. All other features of the devices are similar.

how to make my hard disk into a removable storage device? it is possible?

Create a dos boot disk. Make sure that it contains FORMAT and FDISK. If you have access to Windows 98 then you can create a boot disk.

To read, there are very small electric coils that sense the magnetic polarization; these coils are mounted on arms which pivot and move across and very close to the surface of the disk. (see the image link under Sources... below) These coils read the polarization which represents the 1's and 0's of the binary information stored on the magnetic disk. The write mechanisms make use of the electricity flowing through a coil in the write head that produces a magnetic field. Electrical pulses are sent to the write head, with different patterns of positive and negative currents. The current in the coil of the write head induces a magnetic field across the gap between the head and the magnetic disk platter, which in turn magnetizes a small area on the recording medium. The Read/Write head assembly works to read and write using basically the same technology, early units used the same hardware for both, modern units can have slightly different configurations of the microscopic gaps between coils and magnets etc. for optimum performance.
none unless your a modder. in the hard disk copies you can add parts to a car, but not make them.
disk cloning or dist imaging.
Short answer: No. It is the hard disk that contains the data within the computer. Protect the hard disk to protect the data. 1) Of course, make certain the computer is powered OFF and UN-plugged before opening the case. 2) Keep the hard disk dry. 3) Do NOT drop it. 4) Be certain to keep it away from strong magnetic fields, or appliances that can generate strong magnetic fields. Putting the hard disk back into the same computer usually does not cause problems as long as other components were not radically changed or upgraded. However, putting the hard disk into a different computer MAY cause issues. It may APPEAR that the data is gone when in fact it is still there on the disk. This appearance (or DIS-appearance of the data) can happen if there is a big mis-match between older and newer technologies, such as when an older hard disk is relocated into a newer computer. In this situation, consider backing up the data from the older hard disk WHILE it is still operating within the older computer. You might then perform a restore operation to move the data onto the newer computer.
Drives that show up under Hard Disks must be identified as a fixed disk, but flash disks generally show up as removable, so you won't see them under the Hard Disk category.
(The following assumes that the hard disk is still in working condition.) If the hard disk is in a computer, you can connect it with another computer over a network, and copy the files over the network. You can also connect the old hard disk to your new computer (using a second hard disk cable); in this case, if you manage to make it work, you can copy the files from one disk to another. In this case, the copying itself should be much faster than copying files over a network.
