Running games from a portable hard drive

[kieves1]

Hi all

Just posting on behalf of a friend.He has a works laptop but is not allowed to install any games on his machine.It uses lightspeed or lightscribe security system and IT wont let him put anything on it.
Is there anyway you could use a portable harddrive to install the game on and run it through there or any type of solution you can think of??????

Cheers

Not really as the software that stops him installing stuff will do that regardless off the source files.

The only way I can think of doing it off the top of my head is ask if the IT department will let him dual boot to a version of windows that he has full control over. I doubt they will do this though.

Could run a Linux live CD but then he'd be seriously limited on what cames he can play!

Yeah i didnt think he would be able to.The game he wants to play is command and conquer zero hour so it is a 5 year old game dunno i f linux live would run it as i have no knowledge of linux at all

Cheers for the quick reply
