External hard drive software question

kevscontent · 12-30-2006, 05:36 AM

Iam not sure if this is the right forum section to be askig ths auestion but will give it a go. I am getting myself an external USB SATA drive case (NL-HD07 Newlink Enclosure ) with a 350gb sata drive to go in it. The idea bing that i can store a ll my photos and music on there (with an internal sata drive i my pc to back it up to), now i plan on using Coral photo album for the photo organising with a small amount of fun factor such as the card making etc and 'Collectorz.com MP3 Collector Pro' for the music catalogue. NOW, big question, can i install that sotware onto the ext drive and each of the 3 pc's and laptop will see that software automaticly when i plug the usb ext driv case in and run or will i need to install the software onto each pc for it to run, then !, if i do have to intall the software onto each pc will the setup of individual folders and peferences etc be picked up ?. Sorry its a long question and i hope it makes sense !. thanks in advanc for any advice.
