what I plan is to have a external hard disk on which I can try different foxpro based softwares. so I can have a portable linux setup and I can take it along with me.
Good idea.
jtd, you suggested using an adapter to power the hard disk, can you suggest one? I have a samsun hard disk 40 gb.
The usb adapter box will have an adapter. Buy one which has the adapter.
actually it is a problematic hard disk and I am getting it corrected. seams it has some bad sectores, and I have heard that it can be corrected if the sectors are patched for ever. again correct me if I am wrong. after doing that, I need to have that adapter as you suggested. probably I will make a good shock proof case. one questions arises, will it be a right thing to carry this hard disk in travel?
Not this one. And the usb case is not shock proof. U will have to use a laptop hdd costing around 5000/- for 60gb, if u want reasonably reliable portability.
Otoh u could use a 1 gb pendrive.
