STEAM question

[Steve325]

what's the whole process involved? I've purchased CS:S and Tomb Raider on there and don't want to lose them.

move over your steam directory to the new HDD.



the install steam using the steam install tool from steampowered.com


just set the install directory to the folder you moved over...the install will take like 2 seconds. and wala...just like yer old comp. ive done it a ton of times.

As long as you know your account info, you can't lose your Games. You can re-download them whenever you want.

It's no big deal. I just re-downloaded all of my games to my Vista installation, no problems. As long as you remember your password you're good to go.

Be sure to backup your Save Games.

Other than that, you can simply re-download the games from Steam.

Now, if they only had an option to "Sync" your savegames to the service

Edit:

Tomb Raider Anniversary save games in XP are located in "My Documents" in the Eidos directory (there will be a directory for each profile).

Meh, don't even need to do this. Just backup your saves, and reinstall Steam on your new HD. Then choose the games you want to re-download, and done.
