    alright well it used to work but i recently transferred most of my files (music, photos, games, etc.) to my external hard drive because my internal simply did not have enough room. now when i try to launch this game im totally confused. i have installed it before so i stick in the disc i click launch but then nothing else ever pops up. ive tried to uninstall it from my internal (which ive already deleted it from) and it doesnt give me an option to do that, it just says "run" like it already thinks its installed, when its totally deleted from my intrnal anyway (i cant figure out how to install it on my extrnal either. im about to go insane, plz help!!

    Alright well you can't transfer a game to any other hard drive and expect it to work.

    The game would have to be installed correctly.

    Most legit Discs put a key on your Hard Drive to stop copying of the Game.

    Many games won't play properly on externals anyway. Too Slow.

    So delete the game off your external.

    We need to know whether this is a burnt copy of the Game. :)

    Also just to add to DSTM's post if you transfer an installed application file, all the installed registry keys will point to its old location, so you will then have problems installing or uninstalling it.

    If your lucky moving any games or software back to where they came from might solve this, if not hmm well, I would go for a repair installation, you might try a registry cleaner, but then you may well have to do a clean installation.
