I'm confused. Do you have a tower PC or laptop? If it's a completed tower PC, then it should be as easy as plugging in the wires where they need to go, and making sure they're connected to the corresponding peripheral device. (So make sure the monitor cable actually connects the monitor, the keyboard, etc.) In fact, it's all color-coded on the back of PC's nowadays, or if it's a USB connection, you can plug it into any port and it will work.

I need the hard drive, monitor, external HD, speakers, printer, connected and the laptop to talk to the printer?

This is the part that has me confused. You said you need the hard drive AND the external hard drive connected? Usually you wouldn't take out your hard drive from your chassis or laptop. But if you did, it's easy enough to connect. Basically, run the hard drive to the mother board, make sure it's powered, connect the ribbon strip, (connect it to the power source) screw that baby into the chassis, and you're good to go! If you get confused, you can find TONS of videos showing you what you need to do.
If it's an external drive, it should just go through a USB port, unless it's some super-old/antiquated technology. Perhaps you could clarify what you're having trouble with...? I'm sure it will be an easy fix! Best of luck to you, and welcome to San Antonio!
