Default [Answered] Installing Games On External Hard Drives
Not sure if this is the right board but here goes

Is it possible to install games onto an external hard drive on my PC? If so....

1> Will they run properly?
2> Will it install all game files onto external hard drive or put some files onto built-in hard drive?
3> Can I plug my external hard drive into a laptop and also play the game on laptop?

I have a friend who has installed Need For Speed Carbon on his external hard drive (2.5" 120gb sata hdd w/ enclosure) and it runs perfectly normal. I think that only the save files are copied to the my documents folder on drive c.
