You can take an IDE hard disk for desktops which will be cheaper. Then use an IDE to USB convertor which costs about Rs. 700 here in Mumbai.

I have no idea about IDE to USB convertor. But how to give power to the HDD.

you can just replace the internal hard drive.. should be around 4500-5000 Rs maybe.. get an 2.5" IDE drive. the other choice is to use a desktop hard drive.. as for power, you'll get an AC power adapter with your hard drive cabinet/converter.. so it'll run off that.
