I already changed the boot order, but it shows the blue screen and then goes out... help me if you think you have the solution for me...

  Hello

   
  You can not install Windows vista on a USB hard drive. The reason is that manager (Bootmgr) boot will always be on the internal hard drive and will not read the USB drive letter properly and it continues to change.
  However, you can install the two HDD internally, and then you can have a dual boot option by adding the entries in startup of the operating system Windows Vista, Startup Manager (boot mgr).

• 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.

• How to install games on external hard drive applications

  Hello people,

  I have my app game downloaded from the app store called rack 2 & I transferred to my USB key. Noting that the loading of the game takes too long, I decided to transfer it to my external hard drive. After the transfer of the application of game on the external hard drive, it does not start. So, I decided to reinstall the game by downloading it again from the store, but my disk space.

  So, I have in fact TWO problems:

  (1) how can I reinstall the application to an external hard drive? and...

  (2) how to free disk space on my hard drive internal by disabling certain files on "people"?

  If someone could shed some light on me here, it would be highly appreciated.

  Thanks in advance,

  You should never get too low on your space of hard drive as the OS needs a minimum 10-15 GB of free space at any time to work properly. So, if you do any movie or image/photo, rendering and editing editing works best if you have at least as much vacuum you have temporary files in your project. I can easily raise 100 GB or more temp. files for a one hour film HD, so I keep a lot of empty hard disk space.

  In order to get a few things on your hard drive, the usual space hoggers are therefore, movies, photos, etc. You can move all those who in their library on an external hard drive, and after having checked they are working, delete them from your hard drive.

  Generally, the application work better if they are installed on your internal hard drive; I'm not a gamer, so I'm not familiar with the specifics of the game you're talking about.

• Clean install of windows 7, now I have no permission to copy on external hard drive.

  I have a HP media center 2005 office which originally had XP on it. I bought an upgrade Windows 7 years and installed and never had a problem. Two weeks ago I reformatted my computer to get rid of a redirect virus, and everything seems to work perfectly except for one thing: my C: drive and both of my external hard drives, K:, and M: require administrator privileges to copy/paste/modify anything.
  When I did a clean install it automatically gives me an admin account.

  My question is, what can I do to change the permissions and security settings, while I have a total control over EVERYTHING. I recently tried video file on my external drive and he told me that I needed permissions and click ok to try. But he did nothing.

  I want access to all of my files. Drive C and the two external. I noticed that the security options when I consult my files or directories where showing these accounts:

  SYSTEM
  Josh (Josh-PC\Josh)
  Administrators (Josh-PC\Administrators)
  Everyone

  and I was getting a SID that is long enough

  There are a lot of files, but one in particular that made me on this hunting witch was changing my user profile file in Firefox. I did a clean install and wanted to change the shortcut menu in firefox, but also a few other settings.
  This just happened to reside in C:/documents and settings /

• How to use the book of fonts with fonts that are installed on the external hard drive

  I have all my fonts to a folder on an external hard drive. How can I use font book to manage these fonts? I want to keep on the external hard drive, not book fonts move them to my main hard drive. For some reason, font book does not know where are the fonts and as soon as I show, he sets in motion all the fonts on my hard drive in a folder/library/fonts. NOT what I want! I don't want thousands of fonts clutter up my main hard drive. I just can't understand how the font book. Only option, I can see, it is 'Install' and it is then the copy begins. I read and tests all day and I just can't understand this. Thanks for your suggestions.

  Font book handles only the fonts that are present in one of the folders of fonts on the startup disk. It can disable these fonts, but it won't work as a custodian of the fonts installed also. I would have suggested using a symbolic link to the folder fonts on the external drive to ~/Library/Fonts, but apparently that no longer works: allow to use symlinks in ~/Library/Fonts

• Regen not install software on external HARD drive

  I recently bought a Toshiba external hard drive.
  I try to install the software that came with it.
  The software is Regen - PushButton Backup.
  It seems to load and install ok (via install Wizard). But when I try to run it, I get the message:
  REGEN. EXE has encountered a problem and needs to close. We're sorry...

  Can someone help resolve this for me? I had 3 attempts and installation/uninstallation.

  @chrismuirhead
  Maybe the software has been placed in your first account and starts automatically if you use your account. For most of these software is placed in the registry under RUN or in the startup folder.
  You must check the file if the application is placed here:
  C:\Documents and Settings\ account \Start
