Considering the OP is from India, it's probably just a language barrier. Could still be a student, but could also not be a student.

I am also unclear on the question. Please try to rephrase the question and ask again.

The question is see is how to tell if any data was copied from an external hard disk to any other computer. The only way i could see to do this would be to examine all of the ones you think it has been connected to. Long process though. The recycle bin on the external disk may give a clue as to the user's that have used it though.

Lots of additional information is needed (ie, OS being examined), but from a Windows perspective, the OS does not keep records of files copied. There are ways to see what files may have been copied, but that depends on a great deal of additional activity; for example, if the user opens one of the files that was copied to the external device, there may be several artifacts of that activity (LNK file, Registry, Jump Lists) depending upon the version of Windows being examined. However, the difficultly is that in and of themselves, these artifacts do not specifically identify files that were copied…they simply identify files accessed from an external device.

If the system being analyzed is XP, you *might* find something of value in the shellbags. Maybe.

Again, when asking these sorts of questions, there is information that needs to be provided; otherwise, there possibilities are limitless, and no one wants to sit and write a book.
