Can I install Firefox on an external hard drive?

To save space on my C drive, I would like to install it on an external hard drive. So I downloaded the installer, but it automatically installs on my drive C. is there a solution to this? Danielle

Yes, you can install Firefox on another drive, but the 'big' of the Firefox files will end up on the drive that contains the operating system AppData folder. As the browsing history and saved bookmarks accumulates, the ratio comes from 10 to 1 or more.

  • Can I use time capsule as external hard drive?

    Can I use time capsule as external hard drive so that I can access a file or a specific folder by searching for its name?

    A TC is now and for always player network... no external. So there are limits to its use.

    If you are multitasking your TC with Time Machine and then using a DMG file as a virtual drive is better than directly copy files... However sharing becomes impossible. One person at a time can open the DMG.

    See pondini. T3 http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html

    Old but still interesting to read.

    You can certainly create a folder on the TC and copy your files on it, and then perform a search. Research is slow on wireless is so the speed of transfer of large files. With the help of ethernet is certainly encouraged to desktop computers.

    Sharing folders on the TC is also now more difficult with increasing security at El Capo and OS later. You do not create on the computer records are not available. And even the ones you create can occasionally and autonomous change permissions (since the TC controls drive not the computer), you lock your own files on... I answer these questions once a week.

    Not all software on Mac supports using network drives. The most difficult is photos that can corrupt the library due to disconnections... which are the most common wireless. Be warned backups are important and not easy to do because of the slowness of the USB port on the TC and you end up really need to another location on the network for backup on.

    Generally, I advise the people not not to use the TC for direct files... That is to say, if you edit a document, make sure that it is on a local drive... When you have finished the document, you can copy it to the network drive and delete the local version. Easy for... not so easy documents for photos with major libraries.

    A TC cannot save itself and Time Machine backup impossible network drives... This means that no backup will be your files in the TC, unless you take the initiative and do it.

  • Installed new hard drive on laptop with Windows 7 can install Windows XP on external hard drive and plug it into USB?

    Original title: Win7 Pro + HD Ext different OS
    I just installed a new hard drive in my laptop with Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.
    Would it not be possible to install WIn XP or Win 98 + older software (Win 98 or XP) on an external hard drive, then plug it into USB, laptop, in order to run old programs of 16-32 bit?

    It would be best to run Windows 98 or XP in a Virtual Machine, if you need to run older programs.

    You can use a free software such as Oracle VirtualBox or VMware Player:

  • Install Vista from an external hard drive

    My girlfriend has a laptop Dell Inspiron with Vista Home Premium on it. She has the Dell installation disk, but its optical drive does not work. My laptop HP with an optical drive that works and I used to copy the installation on an external hard drive Seagate disc.

    I want to do a clean install of Vista on Dell sound. Can I just start directly from the folder on the external drive? How can I go about it?

    If your external drive is connected via usb the computer cannot start.  The computer does not scan for a bootable hard drive usb bus.  In addition, if you just copy the disk the file is not bootable.  She needs fix his optical drive if it is faulty.  If it works, you affect the optical drive as the device higher in the boot order in the BIOS Setup.  If you do not have the experience to do this take the computer in a store.

  • I can run vista windows on an external hard drive?

    Hi I was wondering if I could run windows vista Home premium (64 bit) on an external hard drive...

    and how would I do it?

    I was reading around and found some info that said that I need to start from the main internal drive, but I think that my internal drive has some errors and im not sure how long it will last... Although I did have too much problems with it since my last restore full on a month and half ago.

    any suggestions or steps I must take to be able to do this?

    I don't think that this is possible. It is possible to install/boot from a HDD external bootable with some revisions minor http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/07/15/how-to-install-windows-7-or-vista-from-bootable-portable-usb-flash-memory-key-or-hard-disk-drive/ (assuming that your BIOS supports this)-say if your CD/DVD has not, recovery or reinstallation, but it is not the same as Vista from the external HARD drive.  I think the biggest problem is the drivers who won't be loaded until the Windows startup and Windows could not start without the USB already loaded if it was located on an external USB drive (and the other drivers as well) and there may be some problems with the boot files.  There may be other issues - I think XP and Vista are INTENTIONALLLY DESIGNED to work this way (for reasons of piracy among others)...

    I read a post from Carey Frisch MVP, who says flatly that it cannot be done.  Here is an article on the topic which also categorically states that it cannot be done with XP or Vista http://computer-drives-storage.suite101.com/article.cfm/can_you_boot_from_external_hard_disk_drive.

    I read a few articles that say it's possible with XP using the appropriate BIOS and a whole bunch of changes in the registry (changes that have not been identified), but I frantly in doubt.  Too many other articles argue against it.  In addition, it would be MUCH slower (no matter how fast the hard disk) due to the method of connection - you do not use this way on a daily basis.

    Many of the dismantled external when hard drives are compaatible with and will fit inside the computer case and work as internal drives - maybe you can try that as an alternative (assuming that you do not want to buy another drive HARD internal for now).

    To test your hard drive, check the manufacturer and then get the diagnostic utility of: http://www.techsupportforum.com/hardware-support/hard-drive-support/302602-hard-drive-diagnostic-utilities.html.  If she failed the test, replace it.  If she passes the test, then it's probably nothing wrong with it.  You can also run chkdsk /f /r from the elevated command prompt and see what happens - happens to you lots of bad sectors and a lot of corruption, then it is time to replace the drive before it will totally fail...

    I hope this helps (although it is probably not the answer you were hoping for).

    Good luck!

  • Hi I'm looking to upgrade my iMac 2007 to a MacBook Pro that I can keep the iMac as an external hard drive is so how?

    WWhat should I do to keep all my photos and music files without having to complete my new mac book

    You can keep your iMac, but this isn't a very effective solution, if you just want to use it for storage. Sell and buy two external hard drives, one for extra storage and the other for a Time Machine backup drive that I speculate that you have not.

  • I can't get my new WD external hard drive to work with Time Machine.

    My Seagate 1 TB external hard drive, connected to my Airport Extreme, use the USB port, was completed (it stores up to 3 1 iMac and MBP), so I bought a Western Digital 2 TB hard drive to replace it. I formatted correctly, connected to my MBP, then connected to the Airport Extreme. When I opened the time Machine, it didn't appear. By selecting "Set up the new TimeCapsule" open Airport utility. By clicking on the router button gave me change. By clicking on the "Record" button showed my new hard drive. The "setup" button is grayed out, unless I unchecked and double-checked all of the options. He warned me that I would be offline for a while, but it did nothing; My wife MBP and MBP my son not a never lose their connection to the internet, and I lose mine, either.

    My Mac guy, who never met a problem he couldn't fix it, is puzzled. So I am. We tried all the usual ideas, restart my MBP, restart the Airport Extreme, reformat the external hard drive, with different numbers of partitions (and Yes, I chose the GUID), but we can not simply Time Machine to connect with the hard drive. It is a Western Digital My Passport Ultra. This external hard drive is not compatible with Time Machine?

    What version is your AE? Backup is supported only on the sector of Tower model.

    You are self feeding Ultra Passport? It really must be external powered... or plugged into a powered hub.

    My passport readers have been consistent in the past... but sometimes strange things... That is, they can change the USB chip without warning, resulting in questions. The USB hub can help.

    There is also something... Plug the USB key into one of your computers and start backup TM on this... proceed very long... but we need to start... Cancel backup... and then plug it into AE and see what happens.
