Can I run applications off a portable hard dirve? Which portable hard drives should I buy? I want to run Dreamweaver, Net Objects Fusion or WebPage Maker from a portable hard drive.

Answer
You Can not run all of those programs on a portable drive. Check out http://portableapps.com/ for a great repository of Portable applications you can use.


- you can use any portable drive but you will want one that;
*has enough space [this should not be a problem as you can get USB Sticks fairly cheap nowadays]
*can interface quickly [ you will want USB 2.0 for the fastest load times however the computer must have USB 2.0]

Hope this helps

What happens if I don't safely remove a portable hard drive from my computer usb port?

My mom recently unplugged my portable hard drive from the computer's usb port without using the safely remove hardware function. Does doing something like this cause any damage to the pc, hard drive, or data contained in the hard drive, and if so, what damage can occur?

Answer
If you unplug it during data read you may corrupt the drive.If the drive was idle there is no problem but the proper technique is to safely remove it.
