A hard disk drive (HDD) is neither an input nor an output device. It is a Storage Device. It helps to store the data in a Non-Volatile form (i.e Data stored in Hard Drive is not lost even after it's power source removed) and data can be retrieved at any time by enabling power for the Hard Drive.
Since the hard disk drive uses the same data bus as the removable disk drive(s), it is usually installed adjacent to the removable disk (CD-ROM) drive(s).
Information that is saved on the drive
Zip drives are both input-output and storage devices.
YES!!!!! You can easily put a hard drive on a Xbox 360 Arcade. When you buy the Hard Drive, don't worry about the transfer cable and disk, you really don't need it
Something you put into a computer E.g mouse, monitor, Disk Drive, Power Supply, keyboard and loads More...
Assuming you only have 1 CD drive, you will need copy the data to your hard disk (or possibly a flash drive), remove the original disk from the CD drive, put the blank in, and burn the data that you copied to your hard disk.
Yes, any data that can be stored on a hard drive can also be stored on a flash disk. A flash disk can even be configured with a boot sector and you can "boot" your computer from the flash disk.
You can install Halo Reach to your hard drive like any other Xbox 360 game, however the game must be in the disk drive in order to play the game.(but if you have to put the disk its a waste of time to installing it)
You put in a disk and it reads it.
To fix a computer disk drive you just put some glue on the disk.
Yes. You can get an external hard drive case and put the hard drive in that to convert it to an external USB hard disk.Your laptop would have had a 2.5 inch hard disk. Make sure you find an external hard drive case which accepts laptop-sized 2.5 inch hard disk. Also you must keep in mind what type of interface your hard disk uses. If it is SATA, you will need a case which supports it, as opposed to regular ATA-100 (now being called PATA).Put your laptop's old hard disk into that external hard drive case & bingo, its now an external USB disk that you can plug into any computer! Another answer Alternatively, you can purchase a USB to IDE cable and temporarily connect the drive to a desktop computer to retrieve your files.
If you have any type of iPod you can plug it in to the USB port and download it onto the Xbox. You can put CDs in the disk drive and download those songs.
