How do I install applications and create a "desktop environment" on my FreeAgent Go 500 GB drive? I searched for 'how to' instructions online, but all the results are links to purchase the product from different vendors. I cannot find instructions in the Support section. I tried to search the Community Forums, to no avail. If this has been discussed ad nauseum, please, please, please point me to a few threads.
This is what I mean (redacted from the product description on Amazon.com, and it's in the product descriptions of innumerable other retailers):
"Take your desktop environment and all of your files to go. The FreeAgent Go portable hard drive can run more than 100 free and pay-to-use applications on any PC without installing or storing programs on the host computer. Carry your browser, favorites, passwords, IM client and contacts, email client, cookies, settings and files; so whether you're using a computer at work, school, a business center, an Internet cafe, or a library, you have your desktop environment there when you need it.... no trace of your last session to tempt the next person on a borrowed computer. It also provides strong file encryption to protect your content, and lets you sync your files from several PCs.... Plug in the USB 2.0 cable to a PC and your personal desktop environment launches automatically."
I tried to download and install Adobe Acrobat Reader as a test run and wasn't able to install is. I'd like to put applications that I use a lot on this drive -- it's one of the main reasons I bought it.
