Games & Directories

Hi, i was wondering.. Since my hard drive is partitioned into 2 sections, C: & E:, C: is 30gbs for windows and 280Gb odd for E: so my question is if i want to move a folder for my games (EA) from C: to E: to free up space thus allowing for well more space and faster performance of windows will this ruin or prevent me from playing the game, in other words will it run?

By (EA) i mean the folder that is automatically placed in C: even though i install the game to E: which has parts of the games core files. Some other files are even in C:docs&setting/username/Gamename

(takes up 10GB of space form the 30GB partition)

Uninstall the games from your windows partition and reinstall them onto your data partition. It's one HDD though so i think the gains would be minimal. Moving the games will break them, and unless you want to change registry entries all day i'd just leave them.

did you read what he put? It isn't for performance increase, it is because 30GB partition is for windows and it got installed there by accident, performance gain in this situation is pointless, it is about space.

You can try taking it over from one to the other, but don't move anything other than the EA folder from the C drive. It should keep all links to other files and folders the same and should work.

If not, do as linkin said and uninstall and reinstall them in the right place. Generally with EA games you can opt to keep saved games. Do that and then take just the saved game files over then delete the EA folder from C drive

If you cannot just move the folder and don't want to reinstall, you can move it and then redirect c:\ea (just an empty folder and takes up no space) to e:\ea
