    Hard drives and laptops..
    « on: May 02, 2007, 04:27:00 PM »
    Sorry if this is a daft question but you never know unless you ask! :)

    Can any external hard drive be used on a laptop or does it have to be a certain type?

    Thanks!

    If your laptop has USB ports, any hard drive with a USB connection should work.  Beyond that, the drive has to be able to identify itself to the operating system.  Good luck.

    Assuming the HDD has an USB interface and that you are using XP/Vista; yes.
