the reg keys stay in the registry, all you are doing is changing the path where the programs/binaries are installed. You are really over complicating this :lol:

BTW, the Samsung NC10 comes with a 160GB hdd which is enough for most.

you can install any program onto a harddrive, faster speed the better.

if your thinking of installing programs to it then running them on a different pc then you need portable versions of the program, if its just staying connected to one pc then it wont have any problems.

Leave iTunes installed on the computer, and shift all the files on to an external drive. There wouldn't be any benefit from moving iTunes itself.

can you do this on any hd aslong as the program is saved on to it? or does it have to be a certain type of hd?
