Copying install.

[blazer]

Hello my dad has just bought me an 120gb hard drive and i have my cod 5 and cod 4 install on my other hard drive. My dad keeps telling me to copy my game installs from the small hard drive to the 120gb hard drive will it work if i do ?

[Pedsdude]

I don't think it will. Surely it'd just be quicker to install the game using the CD anyway?

It shouldn't work, because of all the registry entries etc the game creates...

I've done the same. The shortcuts obviously don't work so I always go in into the CoD4 or 5 folder and click on the launch icon. It works for both SP and MP.

Worked for CoD2 and 1.

Its called a desktop install and it works for nearly all games.

The only required registry keys are created upon game being run, not installed.
I have always had 2 of every CoD game installed.

1 for gaming, 1 for modding.
