Hi List,
I have bought an external hard drive with no power supply, ie gets power
from lap top 
It came with 2 USB connnections and I now know why 
My machine I am plugging it into is old and is just being used for music but
has only one USB port.
The drive will not spin up on the power for one only and hence I cannot use
for this application.
Is there any small cheap USB power source i.e battery or even mains that I
can plug second USB into to increase power.
I have tested this on my powered USB hub for my main machine and it works
but that is overkill and more expensive than I would want to solve this
issue?
Thanks as alwayss 
Colin
