Finally, I was able to properly install a second hard drive to my computer this morning. My first one only has a capacity of 40GB and is running out of room, while the new one has a capacity of 500GB. Now, the only question is, how do I copy a game (Crysis) I have installed on the first hard drive to the second one? Thanks.

uninstall the game, reinstall, choose custom install and direct it to the new HDD. personally. i'd ditch the old drive and start afresh on the new drive.

Any way of doing this without losing save games? And also, the first hard drive is an SSD, so I'm not exactly planning on ditching it anytime soon. =P

Make a backup of your save game, it stores somewhere in my docs.

who says you'd lose save games? they're stored in my games in documents, uninstalling the game will not delete them.

Perfect. I have nothing to worry about then.
