    You need to give details of what goes wrong, or what you're trying to do.

    maybe he's trying to put the games in his usb drive so he can play it in different computers. but im not sure if it's possible for games that looks for entries in the registry.

    Well im assuming these games are on a Cd or Dvd, even though you didnt give much info on what kind of games..
    Are you trying to transfer them to another comuter? or play them right off the USB drive?
    Either way you should proabably rip the CD to an ISO or bin/cue and transfer that to the USB drive then go from there..
    If you want to transfer you can just copy to another computer or whatever and mount the image to play the game... not sure if playing it off the USB stick would be possilbe because of speed but ive never tried..

    Loading times would be pretty ugly, but as long as the system playing the game had sufficient RAM, there doesn't seem any real reason why not. I know someone who managed to run Doom 3 off his ipod mini, it got very hot though, unsurprisingly!
    If it involves putting an installed game on a USB drive, with some games its possible to copy the files, other games need a registry file added to work (like UT2004), whereas others you may simply have to reinstall for each pc.

    every storage device has its own regsitry so yes you can install games onto a UBS drive. Obv. you have to make sure the drive is plenty big enough or it wont fit, when your install the games from the cd just change the path to that of the USB drive and your on a winner :)

    hopw this helps

    I'm thinking he wants to use a game on different PCs by storing it on the USB drive. That registry won't match up...

    To the first question, which game do you want to put on it? Techniques vary for different games
    To the second question, read the manual, it's not supposed to be difficult.

    OFF TOPIC : SORRY MODS

    I-pod , download and install I-Tunes 7 Apple Website, then insert your I-Pod and open I-Tunes and the 2 will synchronise :)

    Alternatively stop synchronisation when it asks, and were you see your I-Pod in I-tunes on the ledt click music, and drag and drop folders off your computer into the I-Tunes window.
