Hey, I just bought a new HD and installed/partitioned etc,. And I moved one of my games to it to test, and I finished moving the game to the new drive and I started it up to see if it fixed this problem I have been having but when it was loading I heard the old HDs loading sound, and it was loading the game not the new one so wth// lol could it be because the game is in a CD also, and after you install on your computer you have to have the CD in to start the game? I clicked the "***.exe" to start the game on my new HD, but I think it was loading on my old one as that was the one making the loading sound (and the problem still existed) so wth? lol

There will be reg entries and config files that point to the original location of the game, unlike the good old days, you simply cannot just move a program to a new drive and expect it to work. You will need to re-install the game and specify the new drive as the installation path. Completely useless? I can always be used as a bad example. There are 10 types of people in the world. Those that understand binary, and those that don't.

Thanks! Another Question: My friend told me that no matter what the files will load on the Primary drive, he said the new drive I installed will never load anything and only be used as storage x,x I was hoping to test if my drive was causing the problem in this game, and if the files still load on the primary then it's useless oh well, I was planning to use it as a backup drive anyhow.

Your friend is talking BS, I only have windows and a few select apps running from C:, all my games run from another partition, D:. Completely useless? I can always be used as a bad example. There are 10 types of people in the world. Those that understand binary, and those that don't.

Do you mean partition of original HD? Cause he said it would run then, but if you have 2 different HDs in your comp it won't :S I sure hope hes BSING, or doesn't know what he's talking about lol

It is irrelevant whether or not its another hard disk or a partition, windows just sees it as storage space and allocates it a drive letter. If you really are finding it hard to believe what I say, next time you install something, when it prompts you for the installation directory, instead of hitting "ok", click "browse" and select your new hard disk. Trust me, it will work fine. Completely useless? I can always be used as a bad example. There are 10 types of people in the world. Those that understand binary, and those that don't.
