601.

Also if you use Windows 7 (possibly Vista too) you should rightclick steam.exe and run it as adminitrator so it can update the registry settings to point to the new steam location. You only have to do this once.

“thread can be closed”

For future reference, I can recommend reading up on the windows “mklink”-command. With this, you can have, for example, TF2 on drive0 and all other steam-games (dragon age!) on drive1. Very useful if you have a SDD or 10k RPM system-disk. Just move any directories you want between drives and make links in the proper places and TAADAA!!!… You can have often-used games on the speedy disk and seldom-played/stored games on the big slow disk(s) and steam still thinking they’re in the same place, hence requiring no modifications.

EDIT: Oh, this is tested and verified to work just excellent.

Doubt it, I’d imagine when you run the steam installer it’ll prompt you to uninstall first.

There is no need to, if you read up.

Does this work with Windows built in NTFS linking system or something? Pretty sure there was a way to do it without tools, if I’m thinking of the right thing…

–edit

/facepalm, it’s exactly what I was thinking of in the first place, thought it was an app :P
