How do I connect hard drive to external hard drive

[Mokles]

I know you'll think this is such a stupid question, but do I have to take the back off my tower to connect my hard drive to an external hard drive? If not how, in idiots language, do I do it?:o

No question is stupid if you have to ask it, not asking it and getting things wrong would be the stupid option ;)

 

Do you already have an External Drive?

 

What is the make and Model of your Tower?

 

Most in fact nearly all external drives that you buy from shops will connect to your PC by USB. but you can get some that will connect by an external SATA connection.

No, not yet.

Not sure, it was a self-build, but not, as you might have guessed, by me.

I gathered this from elsewhere, but I just don't know how or where to connect it.

An external hard drive comes encased in a hard case.They are usaly supplied with a power supply and a USB cable.

 

You connect the flat end of the USB cable to the USB ports on the back or front of your computer.
