SUMMARY

The Magic School Bus (MSB) titles are not designed to run from a removable drive. The program may appear to install properly to a removable drive, but you receive the following message when you attempt to start the program:
Program must reside on your hard drive.

MORE INFORMATION

MSB Human Body and MSB Solar System will launch from an installation on a removable drive, but MSB Ocean, MSB Earth, and MSB Dinosaurs will not. These programs were designed to run from an installation to a physical hard drive with the compact disc inserted in the CD-ROM drive. These programs were not designed to run from any other media source.

It is possible to set your hard drive to be "removeable". To determine whether this option is selected and/or to select it, do the following:
  1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
  2. Double-click the System icon in Control Panel.
  3. On the Device Manager tab, click the plus (+) sign next to Disk Drives.
  4. Select the item that describes your hard disk (i.e., GENERIC IDE DISK TYPE38), and then click the Properties button.
  5. Click the Settings tab and verify that the Removable check box is not selected.
  6. Click OK. Restart the computer when prompted.
