Steam Question

[[46] pushit [2]]

I recently moved my whole C:\Valve\Steam file into my secondary harddrive, reinstalled windows and reformated my C:\ drive. All seemed to be well until I tried to load up Steam from the D:\ drive...it was acting funny. Firstly, it didnt even show that I had Half-Life 2 while all my .gcfs are place. So, what the hell I thought, I clicked it to install and it tried to conncet to steam and it said servers busy, try again later. Well, 2 hours or so later it's still busy. My question is, is this normal for steam because I have never really had this problem before. Or do I need to do a complete wipe of all steam/hl2 related files and start from scratch? Hope somebody can help....thanks.

Try steampowered.com next time. They do have a support section for a reason! (Plus I know for a fact the whole method is described there)

You can't just move installations like you did. Just move out the GCF's and reinstall Steam into you D:\ drive.

Yes you can. And here is why:

Which is why I told him to go to steampowered.com. But fine, i've done it myself.

Moving the folder should work fine, I had Steam installed in my tiny D:, but moved it to E: when the folder started growing in size.
