Hi Tia, Yes u can download yr Mte game onto it, u can even shortcut yr game to the desktop so you dont have to enter the drive to get yr game running, wen u install yr game u just redirect yr installation to the disk drive eg: if yr puter drive is 'C' & yr removable disk is 'H' then you would install it to H. You rename the drive just the same way as you wold any usual file on yr puter - clik on it once - right clik on it - then clik on rename, the letter of the drive appears at the end of wotever yv renamed it thn ya can 'create shortcut' to desktop. Its very very easy. Also Tia, it is grt if you need to take yr puter to the fixit shop as you dont have to worry bout thm losing any data while repairing it - cos its all safe & sound on the external drive Marilyn - u nearly give me heart failure!! Please please please dont pull the disk drive out of yr puter until yv ejected it, u risk losing evrything on it removing it this way, to eject it - right clik on it & clik eject, it allows you to remove the drive safely from yr computer. Altho the data on it is not in yr puter, thr is still a connection between yr computer & the drive for you to access it. The only time i would ever just remove the drives is if yr puter wont start & it needs to be taken for repairs My youngest son learnt this with his hard earned mp3 player, he got away with putting it in & pulling it out quite a few times then 1 day he hooked it onto the puter & evrything was gone including the driver files for it - he had to biff it out & was very gutted by the experience. I thort he knew about ejecting the mp3 player as he has seen me eject many a disk drive before removing it - needless to say he ejects his new 1 now NB: To anyone out thr who connects any form of drive to thr puter - Before removal - if you right clik on wotever it is you have connected to it & if thr is the 'eject' option - please use it - Always -Big to u all & hoping u all hava grt day
