Greetings!
Thanks for your inputs. I have now purchased the
following:
* Hitachi 80 GB HDD 7200 RPM for Rs.2500
* Gemini 3.5" external hdd casing for Rs. 725.
at Sagar Infosystems, Ritchie Street, Chennai.
I plugged it to the USB port of my T41 running Debian
GNU/Linux and it was detected as /dev/sda. I
partitioned it, and ran mke2fs to create the
filesystems.
Everything works great by default. Was able to take
the necessary backups.
Regards,
SK
