External hard drive question

[winter12480]

I am new here so first of all I wanted to say hello.

I just bought an external hard drive and I am wondering if this is going to be a problem working considering that my USB drive is also external. My usb slots had a power surge and stopped working so I have been using the external ones. Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this.

I don't really understand the question. When you say "external USB drive", are you talking about the external harddrive you purchased? What do you mean by "external USB slots"?

does your external HD conenct to your PC via USB?
