odd question

[Zuriick]

this may seem noobish

but, i have an hp mini 1000 netbook and i want to play WoW here and there if i am stuck at school. problem is, i dont have an external cd drive (dont want to spend the money) and i dont want to put 13+gb of info on my little hdd in my netbook.

can i plug in my external hdd to my main system, install WoW to the external, then run it from there?

Sounds like that laptop would not be capable of running it even if you did have the space. Some of those netbooks don't even run windows.

WoW would install but I wouldn't want to try playing it (though I don't understand the obsession with that game anyway). The next-gen systems with Ion (9400M) in them will probably do a pretty decent job though.

EDIT: To answer the original question, I don't see why you couldn't install it to an external drive, but you'd have to do it from the netbook, not from your desktop. If you don't have an external CD-ROM then make disk images on your desktop, stick them on the external HD, install Daemon Tools on the netbook, mount the images, then install.

you'd be surprised. my mini is running vista, it actually runs better than xp did.
