Hi - just got a Intel 80gb SSD - Im wanting to put the OS on the SSD along with just one or 2 of my steam games, is it possible to do this or do they all have to go on one drive or another? The whole folder is about 50gb and it wont fit on.......couldnt quite stretch to the 160gb version......
 
Hm, just an idea, is it possible to install steam in 2 locations?

If so you could install it on the SSD and have the games you want installed there, and then again on your storage drive with all others. I have never tried this so it may be impossible, but worth a look.
 
it does work if you already have an old steam folder with some games in...then install steam in a different location and install the games missing from the other folder.

ive had 2 steam folders myself after reinstalls and started the wrong 1 and wondered where the rest of my games were. found the right 1 and it worked just fine.
 
quick note for you....you will need 2 steam shortcuts on your desktop...pointing to the different steam locations.

wont work with just 1
