    Default Laptop HD question
    I had a Eurovox PVR with 2.5" IDE 120GB HD in it.
    I've binned the PVR and bought a enclosure for the HD so that i can use it as a portable HD. The USB lead that came with it has the connection to the enclosure and 2 USB connections on the other side.

    I can use it on my laptop nee bother but i want to be able to put aquired films and music on it and connect to my blu-ray player to watch and listen to the bastards - but that has only got one USB port.

    Is there anyway around this - like a different type of lead an that?

    Usually has two USB ends on a cable to give it extra power if necessary when plugging it into a laptop.

    You'll need to buy a seperate power supply if it doesn't work with one USB plug.
