I presume you are asking if you can use an external drive on different computers? The simple answer is yes but you can't install programs on the external drive to run on other computers (except the one it was installed on), this is because programs spread themselves in different parts of the computer, so bits of the programs would be missing if you tried to run it on another computer. Other than this the only problem is viruses which can be transmitted through infected files if you aren't careful where you plug in. NOTE the external drive "could /will" change its drive letter depending how many drives are on the host computer this isn't a problem! just be ready to look for your files in a different labelled drive in "My Computer" (presuming you are using a windows computer)
