Moving a hard drive to a new computer simple?
Hey I am planning on building my own computer soon and do I have to reformat my current drive I have partitioned if I plan on using it on the different computer?
Or can I just throw it in the new computer and it will run?
Also if you can help me or some tutorial on how external drives work. I want to keep my hard drive backed up at all times now.

However, if it's just being used as a data storage drive, you're good to go. You're also not going to run into any problems going from a master drive in computer one to a slave drive in computer two.
I'll let someone else handle the external drive question. You may want to clarify what exactly you mean by how they work. Are you asking more along the lines of "what do I need to get myself started with an external backup?"
Most external drives come with backup software. Or you can use one of many on the market these days.
