Much better option: uninstall, then reinstall Pokertracker and PAHUD on your external drive. (Email ptrack pat and the PAHUD guy and tell them what you're doing first - they'll give you a new key to use to register, because both will ask for one.) You should also follow the directions on the PT website to make sure your databases aren't deleted when you uninstall everything.
Once you've done that, two things will happen: you won't ever need to worry about your laptop drive again (because PT will quickly fill up the other 23 gigs otherwise), and your PT use will be a lot faster because there's no doubt your laptop hard drive is slower than the external. You might even get your data compressed (you know, that thing that pops up every week in PT?) within a reasonable time.

Yeah, don't do this. The external HD will probably be faster, but the USB bus will completely destroy that speed increase. Definitely don't put files on an external HD that you're going to be actively reading and writing to and from.
