Okay, so I have this friend whose been a open source guru all his life. Brags about his 10+ years experience in Linux and Unix. Flash forward to 2010, he decides to install Windows 7 on his computer, which has a 320GB SATA hard drive. Along with Windows 7 he installed MS Office, several games (COD4, Far Cry 2, HAWX), and Visual Basic plus a ton of other apps. Now, recently he bought a 64GB SSD Hard drive, which he wanted to make as his boot drive on the same computer. So he installs Windows 7 on the SSD and makes the 320GB hard drive a slave drive. Here's the wierd part, he blames MS for him being unable to "run" those programs in his 320GB hard drive. When my friend says "run" the programs, he means that he just wants to double click on the *.exe files of his programs in the 320GB HDD. I tell him that's not possible, since you will have to re-install those programs on his 64GB SSD. My friend though insists that this is MS fault, and that they should allow him to do that. He insists that all it takes is to tweak some registry settings in the WIndows 7 that's in the 64GB SSD.
So is my friend on crack or is it technically possible to do that?
