I use Coinbase (Don't have any bitcoins  Sad   DHnez7mpFTxZqoAVUzcmVLFdKr9m8c61T
But if I had some, how could I put my bitcoins from the wallet in Coinbase to a external harddrive?

Would like to know how that works.
Thank you all!

Hello good sir,
All you needs do is
1) obtain an address to send BTC to
2) send from Coinbase to this new address
3) store the private key on said HDD

step 1 does not require a 'wallet'; can be as simple as make an address here:  http://brainwallet.org.  So long as you keep that private key (52 character text string) you will be able to use it whenever you like to spend whatever the balance at that receiving address is.
