    thats right. just put in the hard drive, plug it up via USB and power, and your done. Windows reads it as Removable drive.

    You're welcome
    Forgot to mention, of course, you may need to format the drive, but that should go without saying.

    so now that i did more research on this, i really dont think i can find any one of these cases local. do they seel them at retail stores, or is my best bet still to look on ebay. i called a couple of local stores around here, and one didnt know what i was talkin about. has anyone here ever seen one not online ? cos i really wouldnt mind not payin shimpping fees, cos then is like 50$...hmmm ?

    At least here in Norway you can buy them anywhere where they sell PCs. Like for the Dixon group (if you have that in america too).
