I'm swapping me F3 Raid 0 array for a ssd.
I want to do a new install but am unsure as to how to save me Steam stuff.

Any pointers would be welcome folks.

As would any tweaks for ssd set up.

Ta. :cool:
 
Copy the Steamapps folder to an external drive. Install Steam and log in. Close Steam and copy the folder back to its correct location.

That should do it. :)

You may need to 'repair' the game install, but other than that it should work.

Dont do the first option. ;)

EDIT: keep an eye on your documents as some save games are in there not the Steamapps folder.
 
Ok thanks. I found some game files in Documents. Also found some in the programs x86, Bioshock 1 + 2 and a couple of others. :)
 
I've been meaning to do this myself so the OS SSD is not on the red. Will transfer mine to the Crucial M500 240GB SSD. It's not the fastest but for £86 I thought it was a good buy for another SSD drive. Think I'll use it for GTAV when it comes out.
