The drive i want to install is 120 gig's, with atleast 112 gig's of music files and some video i want to burn to disc. Drive came out an external usb case with a bad power supply, I do not want to replace the case, I would rather install it to a desktop. Any ideas?

Plug it into your main PC as a Slave drive. Then, you can either operate it from thier or transfer whatever back and forth to either drive as you want.

Yes, take apart the enclosure, open up desktop tower, and insert into free 3.5 slot.
Obviously, you'll have to make sure of things like, do you even have a free slot in the tower, and so on.

Yes. Your system will look at it as another internal hard drive. Just make sure you have enough data and power connectors.

well if your desktop has an empty slot in it, just plug it in through that. or ya just could switch the 2 hard-drives everytime u need them, that would really piss me off though i dont know about you though.
