not enough disk space to preload problem

[mashed]

ok, i have steam on my now nearly full hard drive. I want to preload it onto my other hard drive, but dont see any option for this. Is there some way i can preload hl2/ cs source onto my second harddrive without a reinstallation of steam?

Maybe try moving your steam folder over to the other drive... That's the only way I know of/can think of...

Yep, that's all I know.

Yes. Moving the whole folder would work fine. Steam does need to be all in one place.

i was in the same boat, but i tried copying my steam folder to the other drive but it still installed to the old one. I had to do the steam reinstall.

I've moved my Steam Folder from C Drive to G Drive and back about 4 times with no trouble. However, not for the reasons you're dealing with.

Good Luck.

Crist what a crap thing this Steam is. Its driving me nuts. moving doesnt help. Changing paths in registry neither.

Please read the support

Maybe it would be a good idea to search information before bitching !

Your problem is very simple, the solution too :

You need to delete this file:
Valve\Steam\ClientRegistry.blob

HL2 is a blast to play
