If you just move your 'C:/Program Files/Steam/steamapps/' folder to a temp one.... Reinstall Steam on the different drive, then copy the temp folder back in..... Start Steam... All your games will still be there.

Or you can back them up, then reinstall steam to the new drive then unpack them
Either way you have to reinstall steam though
In Steam:
File>Backup Games...>Follow instructions
imo it's best to do a couple games at a time because when I tried all of them it just crashed.
also all updates and local files are preserved, all packed into an executable, really handy tool. But you would have to re-install steam too I think...
Yeah, backing them up and then reinstalling is the safest route. Burn your backup to disc while you're at it.
