is it possible to split steam accross 2 drives

[Frapple]

Here's how I did it for Metro 2033/Crysis/etc.

In this example we'll use Torchlight, I'll assume you haven't got Steam installed & are running Windows 7.

Install steam to biggest drive (F:\Program Files\Steam)
Download Torchlight
Create the '\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common' folders on your SSD.
Move the Torhclight folder to the new common folder on C:\

Now to create the link

Open up cmd
Use cd & dir /x to change directory to F:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common
Now type:

mklink /D torchlight "C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common"

This will create a link object in F:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common (looks like a folder shortcut icon) called 'torchlight'. This will cause Steam/Anti-virus/the pope to get 'redirected' to the torchlight folder on the SSD.

Any trouble, grab me on Steam.

Anyone else, feel free to re-post this anywhere.

Anyone looking for a nice GUI equivalent...

I updated GSM today and the new version has a function called Steam Spreader. It works pretty well. Probably a much better solution for people not confident with the command line method.

I've been meaning to write something myself to do the same thing for a while as I was sick of modifying my script every time I get a new game (which with Steam's deals is quite a lot ). Now I won't have to bother! Thanks for posting.
