I am runing XP pro on a latop and I have external hard drive (via firewire)
and all works well. My internal HD is almost full and I have loaded some
programs onto the external HD which is only formated in NTFS. I have created
a file on this HD called 'program files" but when I chose to store my
programs to this locations they don't always store all there files within
there apropriate folder. Is there another way to accomplish this correctly?
 
Provided when you install programs you tell the program you wish to perform
a custom install (on say d:\), as much as possible with be installed on the
external drive. However some files such as Registry entries, common files
etc MUST still be on the c:\ drive.

If possible, uninstall some of the programs you currently already have
installed on c:\ and then reinstall on d:\ to help you recover some more
drive space.
