I'm about to format, just wanted to know some things. I have a load of games installed and don't really want to have to reinstal them all and find appropiate patches and so on as it's very time consuming.
Would it work if I were to just simply transfer the games folders & files eg. C:\program files\valve to another hard drive (D and then when I format C: I stuck them back in the appropiate place and just created a shortcut to the steam.exe?
Among Steam games there's also All of the Battlefield Series, all of the Call of Duty series, Doom 3, Far Cry, Painkiller, UT, UT2, UT 2003/2004, Quake 2/3, Star Wars Battlefront, Hidden and Dangerous 2, C&C Red Alert/Generals/Zero Hour, Age Of Empires, Red Faction.. well I could go on a while but you get the idea
