3 Explain the difference between the A C and H Drive?
C-drive is usually the main drive that the computer uses for its system software and most programs. NEVER re-format your C-Drive or your computer will not work. A-drive is a floppy external drive. However, most computers will boot up with A-Drive if there is a disk in the drive. H-drive is usually an external driver or a Memory Stick that can be removed from the computer.

I would like my OS on another hard drive an external one rather than on the C drive but the computer won't allow me to change this hard drive letter path to C?
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.
If my C drive is fried can I still use the computer but with an external or another internal drive in place of the c drive?
1) if your motherboard BIOS allows you to select any "Boot Device" and, 2) if you have a boot device with the necessary Operating System files on it, then 3) Yes. Otherwise, No. Just remember you won't have access to ANY of the files on the C: drive - your programs or anything.

How does an external hard drive work?
Think of an external hard drive like a normal hard drive working outside your computer, they work very much in the same way. Normally (unless you are using a SCSI, PATA, or eSATA hard drive), they can be connected to your computer via a Firewire or USB connection. If you have a key-drive (aka USB memory stick), they work like a miniature external hard drive in the sense that they store date in an external format; an external hard drive is just like a large key-drive. With both a key-drive and an external hard drive, you simply connect it to your computer, and access its files. When you want to access your internal hard drive, you go to My Computer and then select the C: drive; The external hard drive is a similar process, you select it's icon (located either on the desktop or My Computer) and then you can access its files like a normal hard drive. You can drag files out of it onto your desktop, or alternatively, drag files into it to transfer files from your computer.
