Solve : Running Programs on Another Hard Drive?

Answer»

I recently purchased a 160 GB drive w/ an external case and installed it.  I was wondering if how I can move program files (namely games) from my old drive and still have them show up on My Programs and have them work when I enter the CD.  Is there any way?  Thanks.It is BEST to uninstall them and re-install selecting the new drive as the location to install them at the setup prompt - This will set them up properly and will show them in My programs.

If you just move them to the new drive this can OFTEN cause a lot of problems with DIRECTORY paths and the REGISTRY.

It is not adviseable to install programs on an external hard drive.  They may fail to OPERATE properly and could be a lot slower than you desire.
