Sam Edwards 1117162 Posted April 8, 2010 at 06:24 PM Posted April 8, 2010 at 06:24 PM is it possible to copy fs onto a portable hard drive then put it into program files on another computer and it will still work? Life is what you make it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Koskey 1067284 Posted April 8, 2010 at 06:50 PM Posted April 8, 2010 at 06:50 PM Sounds suspicious Maybe but I wouldn't necesarrily [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ume that right away. In fact I was forced to copy the disk image to my hard drive in order to install FSX because my dvd drive would halt after a while of trying to install and would do that every time. I was however able to copy the contents of the disk to my hard drive and the install went fine. I eventually got a new dvd drive(actually an old one from another computer of mine) and never had an issue again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Kolin Posted April 8, 2010 at 08:58 PM Posted April 8, 2010 at 08:58 PM great i guess it will work for me then Kyle's post describes a different procedure - he copied the contents of the DVD to a hard drive and then ran setup. It's not surprising that none of your payware will install - you don't have any of the FS registry entries. Cheers! Luke ... I spawn hundreds of children a day.

Alistair Thomson Posted April 8, 2010 at 10:49 PM Posted April 8, 2010 at 10:49 PM problem solved! Don't you just hate it when someone says that? Just exactly how was the problem solved, just in case there may be other forum participants reading this? Like ME, for example It's like having a long thread where lots of people put in their 2c and it bandies back and forth, everyone trying to see what the issue is and trying to help fix it, with some good and maybe some not-so-good suggestions (but remember - this is a LEARNING environment), then the OP says, "OK never mind, got it." Words fail me (for once). Alistair Thomson === Definition: a gentleman is a flying instructor in a Piper Cherokee who can change tanks without getting his face slapped.
