PC games and Portable Hard Drives

[Vergil's Waifu]

Hi Guys and Girls,

I'm running outta space on the ol' pain in the butt that is Vergil, I mean my computer.

Anyway, i was wondering, like you install a game and its contents to the hard drive (Disc C:\ ...BLAH ), Can you do the same thing with a portable hard drive.
(Save a game and its contents to a portable hard drive... instead of the computers HD). Basically everything that gets installed to make the game run on the computer.

(I'm really sorry if this isn't making any sense. Two hours of sleep does weird things to your brain.)

Thanks
VB

I guess... If you don't have room in the C drive you could use another drive, i dunno about the portable drives but as long as they are drives right? If you install it on another drive shouldn't it be automatically start on that drive?

I suppose... but, the C drive is completely different to a portable hard drive... isn't it?

Not at all. You can even run games from Flash drives, external HDDs work similar, only they need their own power supply. So to put it short, yes you can.
