Question Dealing with External Hard Drive

woychik · 04-15-2007, 05:39 PM

Hey all....I have a macintosh laptop that I wish to play the game World of Warcraft on. However I can not install or download the game on the laptop. So I need to get a copy of the installed game onto an external hard drive. Now the problem is, I do not own or know anyone who owns a macintosh computer with which I can do this. So my question to you is, is it possible to use a PC and install the Macintosh version of the game onto an external hard drive? Is there a method or program that can let me do this? Thanks in advance

Unless you're running an intel mac with Windows XP, there is no way to install PC games on a mac.

There is a Macintosh version of the game. Both versions come with the game when you buy it, on the same disks as each other. I just wanna know if the PC can get it so the mac version of the game can install onto the external hard drive.

I don't understand what you're asking... If you have a mac and an external hard drive, why not just install it from the back on the external drive?

Yeah, that will work just don't mess with the files with Windows
