Once you have your hard drive running in the external
enclosure, load the suite from www.portableapps.com on
it. It's a tiny, open source operating system that
will run on any Mac or Windows PC from the external
drive without messing with the host computer. And
there's a standalone version of the GIMP! (like
photoshop but free and open source.) I've been using
PortableApps for a few months now and have no
complaints.
Oh and www.pricewatch.com has cheap hard drives and
enclosures for regular PC drives and notebook drives.
I got a USB enclosure for less than $20 and stuck my
old drive in there that I took out when I upgraded.
The hard drive is more than seven years old and still going.
