Need parts for 2 SATA OEM hard drives?

I am building a new computer and have almost got all the parts I need.

I am getting 2 SATA 3GB/sec hard drives. The problem is they are OEM so they don’t come with any of the parts needed to hook them up. What kind of cables, screws, ect. will I need to get with them?

Can my movies & pics stored on CD & DVD be copied to my hard drive?

Here’s the whole story: My hard drive is currently overflowing with pics & videos, so I plan on cleaning it up by:

1) storing the files on Photo bucket;

2) making backup copies of everything onto CD/DVD; then

3) deleting all the pics & movies from my hard drive to make it squeaky clean.

I’d like to do this ASAP so my comp will perform less sluggishly.

Later I’d like to upload some of my precious pics & videos to a digital picture frame. In order to do that, I need to know if and/or how I can copy files from Photo bucket to memory card (i.e. digital pic frame), or from disc to memory card.

However if those aren’t real options, which is what I suspect, I need to know if I’ll be able to copy selected files back onto my hard drive (from Photo bucket and/or disc), if necessary.

Is their any solution for a USB ports on my laptop to work?

I have a Hp Pavillion tx1000 that I bought a month ago from United States. When I’m going to use the USB drive all of the ports won’t work. But when I tried my printer it detects the device including my external 3.5″ Hard Drive which has external power. I installed the newest BIOS update and chipsets from the hp website but still didn’t work. I think the problem is on my USB ports.

My USB drive isn’t recognized by my PC and Mac computers?

I had a 6 GB Pleomax portable hard drive that I used at a work place for an entire summer and after checking back on it a year later, my computer will not even recognize the USB drive when its plugged in. The light turns on the device turns on but nothing actually happens on the computer. Is there any way I’d be able to save the data and any other advice would be greatly appreciated.
