Only internal drives connect via IDE. The external drives connect through USB or IEEE1394 (FireWire).

Can't. Those are for motherboards. External anything would have to have a USB or Firewire connection. Unless you look for an IDE to USB adapter on Ebay.

through a USB cable hooked up to an availiable USB port on your computer, you cant hook an external drive to an E-IDE/ATAPI connection

whether it truly is an unsecured connection it may be no situation. whether it truly is a secured connection, once you attempt to get admission to the internet, it truly is going to ask you for a password. the guy whose cyber web it truly is would desire to be waiting to tell this to you. maximum desktops immediately attempt to hook up with wireless. If it would not, the two the decrease proper hand corner (on maximum desktops) or greater proper hand corner (on a Mac) would have some kind of instantaneous image. in basic terms proper click it and ask to connect a community. Your chum's wireless would desire to be the main effective one in case you're of their homestead.
