extern harddisk

[kwiekk]

hi there,

is it possible to run fs via an extern harddisk? when i copy my c/drive to an extern harddisk, would fs run (or other programs)?

best regards,

I don't really know, but it wouldn't hurt to try.  Just don't remove anything from your current HDD without backing up first.  Some programs won't like not being located near Windows.  They get a little neurotic unless they're given sunshine 24/7.

thanks for the answer,

i would just copy my whole c/drive to an extern harddisk...

I do not think this will work because during your original installation, the registry was updated with where your FS is installed.  So, even though you might open FS on the external drive, all other opens will occur based on the registry entries, i.e. on the c: drive.

You can do a second install on the external drive but you must first rename your C:\ based FS FS9.exe.

You can put a Clean install of FS on an External HDD (which is what I would suggest you do.) { back up your AIRCRAFT, EFFECTS, GAUGES, ADDON SCENERY, FS9/SCENERY FOLDER, MODULES
