Home Forums Peripherals & Multimedia Peripherals Connecting External Hard Drive

I've asked this before but I can't find my notes and I am in a panic. I think I fried my Mac. I was using Softorino YouTube converter and didn't like it so I removed it. But after that, my computer won't work. I turned it off and then on again and it looked like it was loading up with the apple icon and the spinning circle but then the circle stops spinning and nothing happens and then the screen turns black. No, it's not sleeping.

I need to connect my external hard drive to see if I can get into my computer.

I know it's something simple but I can't remember exactly what to do and can't find it on the internet or on this forum where I talked about it before.

Help! I am using my old IBook right now.
