| 817185 | 2009-10-05 21:49:00 | I have heard that it is possible to install a game on a second hard drive and run it from that drive. Is this true or would there be problems? |

| 817188 | 2009-10-05 22:17:00 | It works, I installed steam on a separate partition and when I reformatted my OS partition all I had to do was reinstall steam client over the previous installation and it works fine with all my games intact. :thumbs: | ronyville (10611) | ||
| 817189 | 2009-10-05 22:20:00 | Yep it works fine. Once upon a time I had a special partition for fifa and it worked great :). | davidmmac (4619) | ||
| 817190 | 2009-10-05 22:23:00 | Im not talking about a partition on the hard drive that I currently have. I'm meaning is it possible to run a game off of a seperate hard drive not a partition | convair (13650) | ||

I'm meaning is it possible to run a game off of a seperate hard drive not a partition Are you thinking about virtual drives or what? Is this related to MSFlight Sim 2004 by any chance? A hard drive has to have at least one partition in order to be able to work anyway. If there is one physical hard drive in your computer it may contain one primary partition and an extended partition. A primary partition has to be there in order for the computer to boot. If you want to dual boot then you need more than one primary partition. Extended partitions may hold more than one logical drive. For example if I had just one physical hard drive I could create one primary and one extended. Within the extended I could create several logical drives. Let us not go into hidden partitions at this time. They are normally used for recovery which is another reason why some people get worried when they paid for a X size of hard drive and find out it is actually a different figure. |
