external harddrive help

[ITZBVAN005]

i was wondering how do i go about installing an external harddrive on a pc is just just plug and play

depends on the OS. for windows xp virtually any usb hdd you can find will install automatically, probably the same for win 2k. you will need drivers for 98/98SE.

its 98 the pc i am goin to be putting it on has a celeron in it,333megahertz,and its a old one its got a 3 gb hdd

just make sure you get the drivers for the model you are using. i should warn you that the transfer rates on those things are painful as is, on a celeron-333 it could be excruciating.
