I want to install Photoshop to my external hard drive ?

I want to install Photoshop 11 to my external hard drive (E:\) because my operating system hard drive (C:\) is too full.  I can get to the screen where it allows me to install to the default location, or change it to another location (which I do, changing it to the same file names, except on the E:\ drive).  Then it takes me to the next screen and says C:\ doesn't have enough room, but it also shows the E:\ drive, however it won't allow me to select E:\ from there.  Am I doing something wrong, or will it just not save to E:\ without the room on C:\?  Thank you in advance for any advice. 

Oh, also, I wanted to add, I have an interchangeable hard drive/CD drive but I can't have them both in at the same time as they use an interchangeable port.  Is there a way to enter all of the information from the CD temporarily, switch out the CD drive for the hard drive, then install it on the hard drive?  Or, finally, is it possible to enter my CD codes on Adobe's website and download an online version?  Thanks (again).

    It is possible. I'll let you read some articles that cover the setup:

    I downloaded and installed Lion on an external hard drive using my laptop which is running Snow Leopard I have now decided that I want to install Lion on my Laptop, but when I go to the App store and click on my purchases it will not download again

    Thanks Dirk,
                         Tried your suggestion various ways but it had no effect the download button was still greyed out and the install button would not activate will keep trying to find a solution. I dont want to boot from the external hard drive that has Lion on mainly because it is a usb HD and the connection to my wireless modem slows the connection rate and downloading would take about ten hours

    Windows will not install and boot from an external drive using Bootcamp Assistant. You could install Windows in a virtual machine using Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox.

  • Can I install Bootcamp on an External Hard Drive?

    *Bootcamp on External Hard Drive?*
    Can I install Bootcamp on an external Hard Drive? I don't see why it wouldn't work. Do I need to install the Mac OS on the external Hard Drive first, then Bootcamp?
    Parallels
    Another question. Does Parallels allow you to not have to use the "option" key to boot into Windows? I mean if I use Parallels can I use XP or Vista at the same time as my mac applications?
    What, (if any) are the drawbacks to using "Parallels"?
    *What Options are there...*
    Is it possible for Apple to allow users to program a key on their keyboard, when pressed will bring up Windows so they don't have to always restart? I need to switch between Windows and mac OS quite often and it's a real pain to always restart. What options do I have?
    Thanks

    Hi Paint Guy,
    *Bootcamp on External Hard Drive?*

    By Microsofts Design no Windows can be installed and booted from external HDs. BootCamp just follows this.
    However, according to this http://tubeshards.wordpress.com/2006/12/05/install-windows-to-a-macintosh-usb-dr ive/ it can be done.
    Parallels
    Another question. Does Parallels allow you to not have to use the "option" key to boot into Windows? I mean if I use Parallels can I use XP or Vista at the same time as my mac applications?
    What, (if any) are the drawbacks to using "Parallels"?
    Parallels is an OS X application which don't need a restart of your Mac to run Windows.
    Therefor you can run OS X and Parallels Windows side-by-side.
    Main drawback is, that Windows runs not native (on the real hardware) but in a virtualized environment.
    While this is more than acceptable for 'standard' Office programs, any program that needs direct hardware access (especially games and 3D-programs) either do not run at all or run at noticeable slower speed.
    Also you have to realize that the amount of RAM in your Mac is divided between OS X and Parallels Windows.

    BootCamp is no option then, since it needs a reboot everytime you want to switch between OS X and Windows.
    Parallels (and VMWare Fusion and VirtualBox, BTW) run alongside OSX.
    Thanks
    You're welcome. Hope it helps.

  • If it is possible to install linux on a external hard drive?

    If it is possible to install linux on a external hard drive, which can be boot from the my MacBook Pro? the reason I didn't try it is beacause that I don't know what it will do to my internal mac os x 10.5? Will it mess up my boot to my leopard?

    it's possible, but difficult. i'm in the middle of trying to get this to work on my MacBook, but not there yet. The best resource i've found is here:
    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=510030
    from what i've learned so far, in order to be able to boot linux on an external drive, the actual /boot partition must be on your internal drive. osx leaves a small (~130MB) partition unused, which can be used for this.
    i think it would be easier to run on a partition of the internal drive, but now that i've started trying the external setup, i really want to make it work.

  • I'm trying to install Firefox on an external hard drive.

    ''Duplicate post, continue here - [/questions/768694]''
    I'm trying to install Firefox on an external hard drive. Having it start on the external drive in a program files directory is very straightforward but I would also like to have the user files on that drive as well. Those files are typically in a directory similar to the following.
    C:\Documents and Settings\xxxxxxxx\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox
    I did have this set up on an older PC but now that I'm setting up a new one, I can't remember just how that was done. Could someone refresh my memory?

    The process is quite straight forward, you start the profile manager, create a new profile and in the second step of the create profile wizard click on "Choose folder" to choose where you want to save the user data.
    The process of creating a profile is detailed here - [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows Creating a new Firefox profile on Windows - MozillaZine Knowledge Base]. There is a warning about using a non-standard location for the profile (copied from the mozillazine knowledge base)
    '''If the folder you select for the new profile contains non-Mozilla files (such as the "My Documents" folder on Windows), your profile data will be intermingled with the non-Mozilla data. This can result in the loss of all of the data in that folder, including non-Mozilla files, if you later delete the profile.'''

    I use the LaCie's, I've got three connected to my system and a 4th acting as my TM drive on my MacBook Air. Any of the above would be welcome on my desk though.

  • How can I install ntfs on an external hard drive so that my Samsung Smart TV can see my media files? Or is there a better option?

    How can I install ntfs on an external hard drive so that my Samsung Smart TV can see my media files? Or is there a better option?

    OS X cannot natively write to a drive formatted as NTFS, nor can it format a drive as NTFS. There are third-party NTFS drivers available on the market.
    Just out of curiosity: Even with NTFS, how is your TV going to access the external hard drive? Does the TV have a USB port?

  • If I want to install Lions on a 2nd hard drive in my MacPro Desktop, will it allow me to do so if I have Leopard installed on the boot drive?

    I have a blank 2nd hard drive that I am going to install in my MacPro desktop. The boot drive already contains the Leopard operating system. I want to install Lions on the blank hard drive. Will setup in Lions when it comes out, allow me to install Lions onto the 2nd hard drive since it should detect that I have a valid Apple operating system on the boot drive?

    You can first install Snow Leopard then re-download Lion. Or you saved the original installer application then created a bootable Lion installer on a USB flash drive or DVD. Or you buy Apple's $69.00 USB flash installer.
    You haven't told us what hindrances you've encountered, so you should post your own separate topic related to your problem and not threadjack another person's topic.

  • How do I install downloads to my external hard drive?

    The download manager automatically installs everything to my C: drive. I am running out of room on my little laptop. :P
    How do I tell the download manager to install to my external hard drive? This is for games and fun stuff.
    I have Windows Vista on the laptop.
    Thanks.

    DEpends on what you want to do - your question is not clear
    If you want to copy your iPhoto library to your external drive simply drag it to the external drive either as back up or to run it there
    If you want more usable copies of your photos on your external drive use the iPhoto program to export them (file menu ==> exports) to the external drive

  • How to install Snow Leopard onto external hard drive.

    I'm currently running on 10.5.8, and I just bought the Snow Leopard installation disc to update to 10.6.3.
    My mac has been running on an external hard drive for about a year. The internal just stopped working.
    I want to  install Snow Leopard onto my external hard drive, but all of my files are on there, and I read that if I do the install, all of the data will be erased.
    If I used time machine to back up the files before I do the install, are they at risk of being erased, since they will be back-uped on the external?
    This is probably super obvious, but I want to be very careful with this.
    Any help is very much appreciated!
    ^__^

    1. The data won't be erased unless a problem occurs.
    2. The Time Machine backup should be on a different drive, as drives can fail.
