Moving Steam folder

https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=7418-YUBN-8129

is steam will remain on your principal drive and the games will go on the other hard drive

I just simply copy and pasted the steamapps folder.
If you copy the whole Steam folder you'll get a message about the computer not having the proper client registry file...I think.

Copy the steamapps folder, use a symlink/junction point to link the old steamapps path to the new one.

Sorry for the semi-hijack, but it's kind of related...

Would it be possible to have Steam folders on two drives (ie some games on drive C: and some on drive D:)?

I have done that before.

close steam, cut and paste whole steam folder, run steam.exe

It will relocate itself take time a bit like when steam prepare to install update

but may need to add games shortcut on your desktop again if you have old shortcut you may delete them first and add them one by one on steam library.

I hid the giveaway really well I think. If you manage to find it, comment on the giveaway page! :P

Thanks for the giveaway, I believe you can also back up all of your games one by one and then move those files to your Hard Drive.

I actually have steam.exe on 2 partitions of the same HDD...yes 160GB hdd only...anyway, I have a couple of games on 1 partition and a couple on the other, and whichever game I want to play, that's the steam.exe I launch.

Cut Steamapps and that is all :D!

Copy & Paste.

you'll need the whole steam folder over to the 1tb hdd. when you install a game, it'll be installed onto that hdd instead of your main hdd. you can find more about it here

Thanks for the help everyone :)
