I presume by hard drive, you mean your PC, the hard drive is one of many things in your PC.
Using two monitors is relatively straightforward, but only if your PC has an actual graphics card, not integrated graphics.
You can tell this by whether you plug your monitor in like this:

Or like this:

If it's lower down the PC like the latter, and there are two connectors available (they may both be white, one be blue and one be white, or in some cases both be blue) then you can run two monitors off your PC.

That sounds like a serial port - look closely, if it is, the blue one will have holes, and the green(ish) one will have pins.
