can i transfer all of my program files to my external hard drive and install new programs on it?
I have a new Maxtor external hard drive that is 750GB and my laptop main hard drive witch is 137GB. Can i put all my programs on to my maxtor external hard drive and install new ones? would i just create a programs files folder and then just copy them on and then delit them off ther other one? and install new progrmas steigth on it?
It is possible to have all of your programs on the external drive, but you cannot do it in quite the way that you describe.
I assume that this is a Windows-based computer, and Windows maintains a database of information about nearly everything that has been installed on the computer, from the exact hardware and drivers to the programs that came pre-installed when you bought it as well as those that you have installed since then. This database, called the Registry (you may have heard this term before), even maintains all of the settings and configuration options for Windows itself.
When you install a program (or when someone has done it for you), the installation routines do more than just copy the program's files into one or more folders, they update the Registry, too. In addition, there are often files that are part of the software that you install, but that get installed in some special location, whether or not you "told" it to. Many programs require that special files be installed in the Windows folder, or in some other location. Whatever happens, the Registry keeps track of it all; later, when you double-click the icon, Windows knows exactly where to find each component of the program and things (usually!) happen pretty much the way that you expect.
If you then copy the program's folder over to a different hard drive, say "E:", and try to run the program, Windows will probably not be able to load the software successfully. If you do nothing other than copy the files to the new hard drive, then all of the shortcuts (icons on your desktop, entries in the Programs menu) will still point to the original location of the program(s). When you double-click on the icon, for example, Windows reads the information in the Registry, sees that the program is in "C:Program Files[something]", and tries to find the files there. Only they won't be there, because you moved them somewhere else. You'll see either the hourglass or the little flashlight (depending on your version of Windows) as the system tries to find your program; you'll eventually get an error message that it could not find the requested file.
Even if you edit the program information in each of your shortcuts, or delete them all and create new ones by hand (which could take a lot of time), you're still likely to have problems because of those unseen files I mentioned earlier. The only safe, reliable way to do what you want is to use the Control Panel to un-install the program(s), then re-install them on the new hard drive. That way, the install routines will automatically update the Registry and ensure that Windows "knows" where each component of every program is located.
Without knowing how many such programs you have, or whether you still have the original disks (or installation programs that you may have downloaded from somewhere), I cannot say for certain how long this will take, but it will likely not be more than a couple of hours. If you installed a program a while ago, and have since downloaded and installed "patches" or other updates to the program (anti-virus updates!), then these will need to be re-applied, too. You should not lose any files that you created, such as documents, playlists, or saved games; these will remain where they are now (unless you explicitly move them yourself), and the program(s) should be able to "find" them automatically when you have re-installed it/them.
I have done this myself many times, and I will repeat that this is the only sure way to "move" programs to a new hard drive. The closest thing to a second option is to take a backup of your system (currently installed on the "C:" drive), then restore it onto the new drive. However, this moves the *entire* system and, depending on the version of Windows that you have and the exact options that you select during the backup, you may still end up with an unusable system.
I'm sorry that it is not as easy as you would have liked, but this is how it works. You do get points for asking first, before your system became totally trashed!
