I have a SSD and an HDD installed, I had the 500GB HDD 1st in my 'puter and I probably installed an Origin product on it........later I installed a 180GB SSD and had it transfer the OS etc. from the HDD to itself [now "C" Drive] and the HDD is the "F"Drive.
Not to long ago I purchased BF3 Premium for dnld from Origin....when they dnlded they NEVER gave me an option, like usual, as to where to install and they dumped this HUGE dnld on the C Drive\SSD. Well - the FREE space on the SSD is now, already, getting lower than I'd like.....so not long ago I tried transferring BF3 and some other game off of the SSD and onto the HDD......the other game, don't remember what, went fine....and the Shortcut worked and everything. BUT the darn HUGE BF3 [Origin Games] transferred over of course BUT it would not RUN....the shortcut couldn't find it???? I even looked at Properties and in there it said "Start IN.......address was for BF3 on the F Drive" but does not start.
Years ago I was told has to do with the Registry....because it was installed by them on the C Drive.....I can't get around that now when I put it on the F Drive.
PLEASE - I would sure appreciate it if someone could walk me thru some easy method to get that MONSTER transferred over to my F Drive....I'd LOVE to get everything "Origin" onto F and off of C.
THANKS, michael
