Can you install a game off an USB Drive?

[Ramodkk]

Title says it all... Basically, copy everything that's on the CD to an USB drive and then installing from it. Is it possible?

Thanks!

yeah its possible - my cd drive was borked so i installed cod4 from a network share that way. You still need the CD to play it though, if it normally requires that.

Yeah i think it's possible it's like a cd or dvd you just need to have enough space on it to put the whole game there.

Some games have to install system files so it won't work all the time...

You could create an ISO which would emulate the cd and install the fiels
