You are not getting answers because there is not enough information. SCSI or IDE? Is the drive parallel port, USB, Firewire or SCSI port attached? The problem is I do not know whether DOS can communicate with USB or Firewire. As for the other two I think you install the drivers the same way for internal or external drives it is just different drivers that work the parallel port for IDE.
