Does the red line on the cable go to the inside or outside when connecting a new hard drive to a computer?
The red wire always attaches to pin 1 of both the hard drive and the controller or motherboard. The red line is usually closer to the power connector. However, older hard drives did not follow this convention. There might not even be a specification for this. To be sure, look closely at the hard drive for a distinguishing mark on one end of the connector, such as a "1" or triangle indicating which end the red line should be.
Can you Take a hard drive out of your computer and use it in a external drive case?

If the hard drive has a wide cable (usually gray) attached to it then it is an IDE drive, if it has thin cable (usually red, sometimes blue) then it's a SATA drive.

Step by step installation of two hard drives On a single PC?
On each motherboard, you will find 2 IDE ports. These ports are for your hard drives, and CD ROM's. On the back of every hard drive, you will find a jumper, together with different settings, for use of the drive being a master, slave or cable select. You adjust these jumpers for placement on the ide cable. Eg being, your main hard drive (80gb), place the jumper for this on to the master setting. Then place this drive at the end of the ide cable. Your second drive (500gb), change the jumper to slave, and place this at the middle of the ide cable). Every ide cable, has a red line down one side of it. This red line shows you which way the cable should be positioned on the drive. The red line always goes to the right. Then on the molex power connector, you will find, 1 yellow, 2 black, and 1 red wire. These can only be plugged into the drive one way round. (You match the red wire facing the red on the ide cable). If the hard drives in question, are SATA or SATA II, then there is no master or slave connector, and they just plug direct into the ports on the drive, and on the board.
