Well I have XP but waiting for my zune to come in from the mail, but I have a internal/usb converter for my 30 g hd that I ripped from my old comp. I think zune will act the same way so heres how you do it.
Plug in your zune and click "My Computer" and you should see what drive it is , mine hd is (E:). Now say your going to install Rise of Nations, put the disk in your drive and click INSTALL, not the express (not sure what it does) and enter your CD Key. Click next twice tell it says RoN will be installed in the folder belowe, and it should say C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Rise of Nations. Click Change then go threw Drives and click on the zune, or replace "C:\" with "E:\" (or whatever your zune is) Then hit Install.
Every game is different but basics are the same, some might ask if you to do Advanced Install and click that. If you need more help just PM me

How To Use The Zune as a Hard Drive

Fantastic news for the handful of people who actually own a Zune. Someone's found a way to enable a sort of hard drive support, which although doesn't assign a drive letter to your Zune, does allow you to drag and drop files from it.

Turns out it's just a registry value to enable visibility in the shell. Cake! Hit the jump for the instructions.

1. Make sure your Zune is not plugged in and your Zune software isn't running 2. open up regedit by going to the start menu and selecting "run". Type regedt32 and hit "OK" 3. Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ControlSet001\Enum\USB\ 4. Search for "PortableDeviceNameSpace". This should be contained in the Vid_####&Pid_####\########_-_########_-_########_-_########\Device Parameters within the above ...\USB\ The ##'s listed here will be numbers and letters specific to your Zune 5. Change the following values: * EnableLegacySupport to 1 * PortableDeviceNameSpaceExcludeFromShell to 0 * ShowInShell to 1 6. Plug in your Zune, and make sure the Zune Software starts up. 7. Hopefully at this point you can open up "My Computer" and browse your device, though it does NOT show up as a drive letter.

Right now I can access it both as a harddrive and sync through the Zune Software.
