external hd probably burns faster because

a) drive is newer and thus works faster and better than the one in your pc, and

b) the file is more likely to be contiguous on an external and fragged on a local disk.

As well as:

c) The operating system and swap files aren't located on that drive (i.e. no OS overhead).

Using a second internal drive would produce similar results.

good call. i do just that. i keep music/movie/game downloads on the D: and programs/os and all that junk on C:. pretty certain it's two internal and not just a partition because they are different sizes, C: is 35.1 GB usable and D: 35.7 or .8, which says to me that C: has windows on it and D: is separate with just the fat. should i be switching to ntfs, and what are any handy tips before doing so? i know you just type "convert x: /ntfs" or similar, but there must be ways to make it easier on the system, eg defrag, clean the reg, etc. does it really matter i use fat32? it shipped that way and never crossed my mind to change it until recently, not something really noticeable ya know? sorry if this is derailing, but it still concerns drive space...

I would convert to NTFS if I were you. Personally I would back up everything (copy it to C: or burn to DVD's) and then format the drive using NTFS, and copy everything back. Doing it this way, you'll end up converting to NTFS and defragging the drive at the same time.

Holy Crap

I just wanted to try the new Osbournes.......................but NOOOOOOOOOOOO

My $20 ran out before the FU$^%#NG game even downloaded. I reallly realllly hate this crap. Go& Damn you Grand Mondial

I am so done with them and other MG's that cant get their shit together to dl a game in a normal time. If it's too much for your casino, get rid of some other games

Like I said in another thread......MG is too overwhelming for me

No one fault here but yours Babs. If you only had $20 to play with and you wanted to try out the Osbournes. You should have been patient enough to wait until it was fully downloaded and then began using your $20. To lose your $20 playing other downloaded game(s) isn't Grand Mondial fault.

THANKS for the explanation,as this has always worked for me(when I tried it as a crapshoot) but was not sure why

Ditto per my post to HGB..................should have used the multi-quote,sorry all.

Aggravating...and how about up to 12 hours or more MG makes you wait to have a crummy 20% deposit match bonus credited? Like I can wait til the bonus catches up with my deposit to increase my chances - RIGHT!

I've had well over 100 casinos on my hard drive at the same time - had fun removing them too especially MG casinos with the little survey they try to force onto you! Just be ready to click the "close window tile" in the upper right corner as soon as the browser starts opening - it really keeps the uninstall from bogging down. No space problems though on a 180g drive - remember to run disk cleanup and defrag after dumping your unwanted and obsolete (US Players) casinos!!

I wanted to play the ozborns too so I started the dl (yep I'm on dial up) and I started my dl at 2pm in the afternoon yesterday and I was at 95% when my internet connection dropped at around 9:45pm at night! when I logged back in all progress was lost, I was super PISSED, I too had played through my deposit waiting.

at least I got to see the bonus games on fraken cash and dragon loot. VERY disapointed on how much I won in the bonus games,I worked both those games for a few hours specially fraken cash, on a .20cent bet when I got the free spins I won a grand total of 2.43 cents!!!! I could never break the 2.00 total in the free spins.. at least dragon loot I got 40 spins at 2x and won a grand total of 6 bucks.. WOW!!

I think I will give up playing villento for a while, maybe I will uninstall it too because its just not worth it anymore.

You would be surprised how long $20 can last, especially just doing minimum bets on 9 and 15 liners. I only did 18,27 cent spins. My point is all the other games were available ASAP except the news ones. Im blaming them for taking so long to DL, not that I lost my money silly!!

btw (to others) yeah, I do have cable modem, so it's not that either. It's MG, the only one I have probs with.


PS....Patience? what's that?

and then what about the c drive? surely you can't "just move" the os files over to d, and all of this is assuming i can trim down to 35 gigs total. i had this thought already, but doing c is still going to be a pain, with games and other progs, sometimes you can't just copy over in case you miss some files and it won't work. and unbelievable as it sounds, i am 95% sure i don't have the capability to burn dvd's on my machine. the whole thing makes me moan and groan. wait'll i watch all the movies i got and beat all the games i have, then maybe i'll try it.

I was under the impression that your C: drive was already NTFS and it was just your D: that was FAT32. In that case, you're better off waiting. What's that quote? If it ain't broke don't fix it?

I do have cable modem, so it's not that either. It's MG, the only one I have probs with.

If you have a cable modem and still can't download the games, then the problem lies with the internet connection speed of the casino you are trying to download. Blaming MG in this situation would be like blaming your favorite TV channel if your cable went out.

I can DL the games, it's just the new one I can't. For some reason the Osbournes didnt dl before I ran out of that $20, who knows, its probably dl'd now but i dont wanna play there anymore

Oh I see. That's still a problem with that particular casino. This happens frequently during the first few days of deployment of new games. It'll sit there and appear to be downloading, but never does. Give it a week or so and they should become available (or try a different casino).

I can dl a game in about 15 seconds, and then I can lose my deposit in about the same time. LOL Really about the Osbourns, I have played in play mode thousands of spins and NEVER have seen the dog bonus. So babs it was probably best that you didn't get to play it. That Franken Cash is great, one of my favorites. I think at some point MG will have to retire some of their games or let us choose what we want to dl. They are just too huge, and adding 30-40 new games a year, it will be overwhelming to most of our computers.
