Do you have an old laptop hard drive that's just sitting around collecting dust? Have you ever wanted an external hard drive for backing up important files or just to be able to take your files with you without having to lug around your entire computer? Turning your old laptop hard drive into an external hard drive is super easy to do and in this video I not only show you how to turn an old hard drive into an external drive but also how to remove the partitions on your old drive using DISKPART, clean all the old files off it and initialize and format it giving you a "brand new" external hard drive.
