Im trying to get a portable hard drive to work at school to play games. When i plug it into the usb slot and power it on, it wont let me use it. It detects it as volume and i am unable to use it without administrator rights. Anyway to use the hard drive here still?

Answer
no, the computer is locked down via the administrator account.
the only way to get to your games is from a bootable live linux cd.
then you could copy your games from your portable drive to the windows drive, then reboot into windows again and use the games.

Does it work if you install a game onto a portable hard drive?

So basically I'm feeling quite reminiscent about sims 2, and I want to play it again, but it's not installed to my new laptop. Last time it slowed the laptop down loads so I was wondering, if I installed all the play files to my portable hard drive, would it work? I remove the hard drive and use it for my photos and stuff too but I wouldn't play sims on any other computer, I just don't want to clog up the laptop hard drive. Any help?

Answer
yes it would but its the ram that slows the pc down putting it on a portable hd will make it that little but faster though, but it would not work on other computers unless they have the sims2 in there registry .Rad
