i presently have a fujitsu 80 GB hard disk fitted inside my laptop. and wish to increase it to 160 GB. of course i will buy a new one but what i wanna ask is "will i be able to use the 80 GB hard disk as an external one?" is it possible to it to a usb connectable hard disk?

one more thing i would like to ask is that is the hardware of laptops same as desktops i mean can i use the 512 MB DDR2 RAM presently in my laptop in my desktop as well? or its different?

please reply

you cant use your laptop memory on your desktop...
it is possible to use the laptop hard disk as external USB hdd..by purchasing a casing for it without the need for external power adapter in the case of laptop hdd

To the OP: desktop RAMs are different from Laptop RAMs..(in size and physical make)
