You have to provide us with much more info. Make and model number f your
machine (or motherboard model, whatever.) I gave you a link to Everest in my
reply to your previous post ("how can I install more colours on my pc") That
and a good inspection of the exterior of the machine should give you all the
names and numbers you need.
Don't forget that this need for data on your system includes all the data
you have on your external devices.

You will have to provide much more information about your problem, such as
the make and type of external drive, how you are trying to connect it, what
steps you have gone through so far, at what point the problem appears and
the exact verbatim error messages that you are getting.

Then don't.
Take the cover off your computer and install a regular IDE or (less
likely) a SATA drive. Connect it directly to your motherboard. Don't
mess around with external drives if you don't have to.

Is it still an echo if nobody's listening?

Do you say that because it makes a work desk more messy or are external hard
drives not as reliable as internal hard drives. I know external hard drives
are more portable but I was wondering if you could kindly expand upon your
answer for me 98 Guy. Thanks in advance because I do appreciate it.
