![]() Well, seriously, if I were that stoopid, I seriously also doubt I'd be able to post a question about it. Pick a drive and select new folder then select it, wow not hard at all. No it says that because of choosing the root of a drive. After I did the steps above, all seems fine. I have built a new PC, Installed a new OS on a new SSD, and steam was surely confused. There was no way out of an uninstall, a registry edit, and reinstall and DL of all the material again. This is because Steam isn't installed on the drive you want to change to. Originally posted by FedEx Driver:Ok, for anybody who has a problem with steam installed on one SSD, and attempts to change the default DL folder to one on a different drive, you may see Steam tell you that your selected drive is not writeable. I did try the steps listed in the "migrating Steam folder" or whatever the exact title of that article was, and that didn't work, either. I am installing all kinds of cool stuff in there, seeing if I can't fill it up also. I don't know why it thinks that this new C: drive is not writeable. I R-clicked "properties" to uncheck the "read only" box for this new folder, incase that was it, but NAY! So, I'm at a loss. ![]() I created a new folder called "Steam", where it could nicely enough put the stuff there. The old drive was my primary with windows on it, and it seemed to not care to stick games on it, so it doesn't seem to be a windows partition protect issue, I think. When I use the Steam>Settings path, I get an error message that says "cannot create new library folder, drive must be writeable". So, I wanted to make a new steam folder in the new larger C: drive. I bought a new larger drive to accommodate all the junk I collect. Steam recognized it, and all seemed fine, except that whole capacity issue. After all the essential drivers were installed on this new SSD now in C:, I reinstalled my old drive, and it was named F. It has become F: now, and C: is my new SSD, the default windows installation drive. As we all do, it grew beyond its capacity to fit in the existing container :)Īfter a complete system upgrade, and a fresh install of Windows 10, I installed necessary drivers on a fresh SSD, without my old C: drive. My old C: drive was where my Steam folder was located. Before I try some drastic measures, I figure I should ask first. My question is about hardware, in general, and the default Steam Library folder. Sometimes, we just need some outside info. ![]() I've done this several times over the years, and expect unexpected problems. I hadn't really found an exact place for this, I hope this is acceptable.įor the last 5 years, almost 6, my old PC rocked well, but it was time to upgrade. ![]()
