[billythekidd82]

Is there a way where you could make a hard drive on the computer without buying one?

[RawsoHD]

@billythekidd82 i was wondering the same thing.. but i dont think it would be easy.

[omegaman20]

[67jacquie]

[trainz222]

@67jacquie no it wont I recomend amazon.com they clearly specify the size and input type

[RoMFinishTheFight]

hi noa

[dodoegg1]

I bought a 3'5" external HDD by Seagate. The USB port has broken, so can I do the same with the HDD that is inside the Seagate case? I have opened it up and it looks just like an ordinary HDD. So would the same principles of this video apply to an HDD that has come out of a ready made external HDD?

[mystifire2]

Awesome I'm going to do this with my pc that died a few months ago

[xLittleVinnie]

[dxxxdxxxx]

I have the same god damn fat monitor you have!!!!

[backyardsausage]

murderer?

[khonglap]

where do you get the drive ?. The desktop unable to see the external harddrive ?. Do you format the external harddrive before you install it into external enclosure ?.

Please help.Thanks

[Alfymon]

@khonglap you can buy these hard drives virtually anywhere ebay,buy.com,amazon, or your local computer parts store Newegg.com has the cheapest prices for Hard Drives for I suggest u buy a laptop external hard drive because a laptop hard-drive case/enclosure is cheaper than a desktop hard drive case. Once u hook up your HD to your comp just click were ever your HD is located and click format disk very simple.

[CARTMEN117]

hi i was just wondering do you need a power cable to make in work or can you just use the usb cable this with a desktop computer hard drive. THANKS PLEASE REPLY!!!!! =)

[Alfymon]

@CARTMEN117 You can just use the usb cable supplied with your Hard Drive enclosure/case if u can see the cable hes holding has two usb plugins one for power the other sending and receiving info. I bought a cheap enclosure/case off ebay and the usb cable supplied had two usb plugins i paid less than 6 bucks w/free ship for it 2.5".

[brokenbylaw2]

[CouncilHater2009]

hi how can i just format old harddrive to use sa an external drive . so i can just use it to back up dater pictures its a 2.5 wd 120.0gb hard drive hp laptop vista or wins 7and format to os systems

[CouncilHater2009]

if you use a old hardrive out of a lap top and build one with a case how do you remove all the data off the hardrive if you use a old 2.5 hardrive

[CouncilHater2009]

hi do you have any web sites i can try to get case

[CouncilHater2009]

hi where do you buy case from .you got any web i can try

[C0SM0E]

wow gay hard drive well its a PC ha ha! im a mac pc sucks though.

[matte957]

Wouldn't a ordinary case that fits it just work as well?

If you have an book for example you could just glue it up and make one of those "secret" box-case and use that instead? Would look little more fun with a book...

[TFKTE]

do you realy need the case............

[expertprogrammer]

No just a hardrive and case for the hardrive

[Phavonic]

Can anybody tell me how reformat/reinstall my windows XP if the CD-player is not working (through virus)?

Is there someway to format it without (initially) having to use the CD drive? Its pissing me off.

Thanks in advance.

[arvindsudevan]

I would like to know whether the additional softwares installed in a PC is to be done in a separate partition (like D:\, E:\, etc.) other than the windows partition (eg. C:\Program Files\) for better performance, or should it be installed in 'C:\Program Files' itself.

Arvind.

[waiatatube]

The external cases are bout $45.00 (trademe New Zealand) but if you really shop around you can get them (from trademe) for $16.00. I purchased my case from trademe, New Zealand. If anyone got a cheaper place for us to visit, a web address would be great. cheers.

[SovietHD]

Can't go wrong for $16

[foullump]

Good video, but I already knew this stuff. I'm sure it would help anyone who didn't already know though!

[waiatatube]

For sure it has helped us who didn't know and who have not got the money to buy external hard drives. For one, they are way out of my reach, for now! Cheers... and thanks for this post. muchly appreciated. Cheers.

[carolinebrown978]

watch this vid /watch?v=cmpaAoY3SQc

I farted and it stunk, and i liked it

[paulsviplist]

How do I make the case?

[Jamesallen73]

informative and a good step by step guide for those not fully sure what needs to be done. I myself am taking my old Ps3's 40g hd and making an external hardrive after swapping in a 500gb drive into the system.

[dre109offishall]

that;s exactly what i wanted 2 do with my ps3 lol

but only my ps3 is 80gb n i am going to put linux on it

[lektronk]

lol that made me laugh

[incohrence]

I see many how to tutorials and non actually tell you how to create a external hard drive encloser only disassemble the case and buy additional product to install it in

[abcd1119123]

lol. cause its impossible to make it. That connector cannot be made at home.

[1cemage]

i have to ask though.... while it may be cheaper to buy the enclosure kit and do this, why would you ever want to use a severely used HDD that is prone to fail any day for data storage of any sort... not to mention EIDE is much slower than the modern SATA externals from WD or seagate available at any best buy or circuit city for 80-100$ with a minimum of 250 Gb of storage (your IDE is probably around 60 gigs i would bet) while its nice to have the enclosure to back up data from a failed drive...

[1cemage]

and they said dinosaurs were dead...

[BlakeOBrien1]

@1cemage Lol, i have a 90s computer in my room. 3 times that size

[chrisb208]

Retard alert!
