but now I can't figure out how to move all my games and applications onto it... I want to put all my stuff onto the hard drive then make it so that when I plug in my hard Drive I can access everything from there...
I want my computer basically free of all clutter but when I plug in the hard drive I can play Sims 2 or Warcraft without having to install the whole program again. I'd really appreat some links or vids on how to do this... another thing that might help is I'm a writer and basically want to backup my whole story... how do I do this?

What is a portable hard drive?
Q. Okay, I may sound ignorant, but what exactly is a portable hard drive? Can they act like a normal hard drive? Do you run an OS on them? Can you install programs on them? How much are they? What's the difference between that and a flash drive?
Answer
A portable hd usually refers to a USB connected harddrive that is use to store data. However, newer systems can boot from USB drives (or CDs depending on your OS) and you can use it to intstall your OS. (Not typical however.)
Your OS usually will treat them like a regular harddrive and you can install programs on them, however you wouldn't normally do this since installing programs will usually add entries to the drive where the operating system is to tell the program how to run.
A flash drive refers to "flash memory" these are chip based drives that have no moving parts. Good to carry files around with you. (refered to as key drives sometimes as you can carry one on your keyring) A portable hard drive is more of an external hard drive and has the same technology as one in your PC. (moving parts - a little more likely to damage.)
A flash drive is usally 256 megabytes to 2 gigabytes. USB hard drives can be 10 gigabytes or larger, up to a terabyte. (1000 gigabytes.)
In both cases, you usually want to have all your OS files and programs local to the machine and keep or backup your data on the portable type drives.
