I have NO clue about this whole subject -- fact is, other than knowing they store data, I'm not well versed on hard drives either.

Can someone point me in the right direction for a tutorial (if there is one) on how you can possibly interface a pic to read a hard drive?

For starters, how about certain popular file types like text or mp3 etc?

Let's say I just want to read a drive that already has be written to on a pc and just read it -- I'm sure that will be easier than the "write to" process.

THANKS.
