Can Tweaking be run from EHD ?

(1/2) > >>

FritoBandito:
I'm trying to keep a fresh install of Windows 7 as clean & uncluttered as possible on a new SSD.

I'm having problems getting Windows Updates to download & install updates, & Tweaking previously helped with a similar problem on an older HDD. In that scenario Tweaking was installed on the HDD.

In an effort to keep the SSD uncluttered, can Tweaking be run from an EHD? Will it still install anything on the main SSD?

Thank you for any suggestions.

Boggin:
The program runs from within Windows.

Not sure about the EHD but you could use the portable version.

- EHD = External Hard Disk ?
- I just downloaded the Portable version and it runs well, both from an external USB HD & a USB thumbdrive.

Boggin:
Thanks for checking that out, Willy - Karma for you :)

Willy2:
- That's precisely what a "Portable Version" is meant for. Running it from an external (USB) drive.
- Also make sure to untick those external drives in the main repair GUI.  A USB HDD today can easily contain 500 GB or more in data/info. Because USB disk I/O is (much) slower than disk I/O for an internal drive. (think: serial data transfer versus parallel data transfer).
