I have a very simple question. Can you run games off of an external hard drive. I play World of Warcraft and many other games. My computer, which is a laptop, only has 40gb of space. I don't have anymore room for patches or anything else. So I was wondering if I could run games off of an external hard drive. I am running Windows XP. Thanks in advance.

Jump to Postyes you can, it's doesn't matter for window where your game is installed. you even can install the game on dvd)) but it would work very slow.
Jump to PostI think we're going a bit too far about installing a game on DVD. Have you actually installed a game on a DVD before?
Jump to PostIf you mean a DVD, then the answer is No. Howevr, you caninstall games onto internal and external hard drives without any problem.
Jump to PostI have installed a game on a DVD before.... the results were uh..... well, less than desireable.
Jump to Postyoud need to uninstall the game and then reinstall it completely on the external drive...
