| ...from my pc into a external hard drive? How? If I need cable (s), what kind and where can I get it? I took out my hard drive from the pc and want to connect it to my laptop. Same thing with the Floppy disk drive, CDRom drive, and DVDRom drive, I want to connect them all to my laptop as external drives. Can I do that? how? |

| Can I just ask why you would want to move the Floppy, Cdrom and Dvdrom as external drives to the laptop?

Does the laptop not possess these features? If you are trying to trying to run 1 operating system across 2 different machines forget it, it won't work. I'm presupposing your running XP and as soon as it sees two different sets of hardware it will not work. It will only work on the original pc that it was installed on. My System: #

| I dont know what poseses you to do this (aka +1 on what wolfeymole said) but anyway for the hard drive you will need an external hdd holder which arent to expensive (they use usb or firewire or both). For the CD drive you need the same but a 5.25 external holder. although not much you can do about the floppy drive. Can i just ask why? |

| I dont know what wolfey meant about 2 sets of hardware though. He mean off the same psu. If so thats not true. You get cases that support 2 or more power supplies like lian li server cases incase you run out of connectors. |
