External hard drive into a PC system??
Hello
I have an 80gb external USB hard drive. Inside is a Maxtor Diamond max 10, 80GB PATA133 HDD I was wondering if i could put this inside a new PC system [a barebone pc im buying] and would it work as the only hard drive inside the machine and could it run an OS on it fine? The file system is FAT32 So can i clean the drive or format it etc... so it wil work in a new PC as the only HDD and run an OS on it? Any help would be great Also - can a motherboard that runs SATA use a PATA had drive thanks |
