Can anyone tell me what is the difference between an external hard drive and an external hard drive enclosure? I had just bought a rocketfish 3.5" USB 2.0 Hard Drive Enclosure Kit because I want to put my movies on something portable, but it seems to be that something is missing...

Why didn't you google it? Anyway, a disk enclosure is just the chassis that protects the hard disk. And the hard disk is.... well... the hard disk itself.

How do I turn an internal hard drive into a mass storage device?

I had an extra laptop hard drive so I wanted to make it into a portable one, but when I got the kit to make it into an external one and connected it to my computer, nothing happened. Do I need a special software or something? What can I do?
