[QUOTE="techiesteve, post: 1483387, member: 98520"] It's most likely your hard drive has failed. Do you have a backup? An external hard drive will do nothing without being initialised and having an OS installed on it. Yes, you can install an OS on an external hard drive. It will run slower than an internal drive, replacing the internal drive is the better option. What Mac do you have, what OS was installed? [/QUOTE]
