Installing steam games onto multiple drives (micro SD)

EDIT FOR HELP& TIPS [by ST]

The option for me to install my games onto my 2nd drive (an micro SD) is not present, any fix?

Bearing in mind up until Asus forced a BIOS update on my tablet it was actually installed on the SD itself, although installing games on the SD after the BIOS meant that the whole system would freeze.

So I put it all back on the C drive and wanted to see if I could just pop the games on the micro SD as its memory is much larger.

Yes. You can have Steam on one drive and install games on different drives if you wish. This feature has been around for a while now.

When I install say: Rollercoster Tycoon 2. There is no option for me to install it on another dirve. If there some loop I have to jump through?

Games have to be on the "SteamPipe" download system to be able to be installed on other drives. It's possible that Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 is one of the few games on Steam that isn't.

For games that DO allow this, on the Install Game screen there should be a drop down menu for you to either create or choose existing library folders (Where library folders can be created on other drives, so you install the games on a different drive to your Steam install).

All of my game thus far do not have this option when I install it (by the time it gets to allocating space so I figure it can't and I cancel the install) at what point in an install should the option to install it on another drive occur?

Go to your Games library in the Steam Client and right click the uninstalled game that you wish to install.
Click "Install Game" from the menu. A new window will appear. This new window will display the game title, the Disk space needed, the Disk space available on the drive Steam is installed to, an estimated download time and the location for install.
Under the Choose Location for Install, click the arrow and select "Create New Steam Library".
Choose the location for this library folder.
Any future installs will now have the option of both your Steam installation folder and this new Library folder you have just created on another drive.

This screen may look slightly different as I currently use a custom skin for Steam, but the principle is the same; http://i.imgur.com/EDoaNOE.png

I figured that is what I should be seeing, however I do not get that option, I have a tablet PC (for light gaming on holiday/ Journey) now my other drive is a micro SD 128gb, do I have to do something for steam to recognise it? Weirdly I had steam installed on the SD earlier and I even ran games, now when it comes to installing (after a BIOS update and reinstalling steam) a game my PC just freezes. So I unistalled the whole thing and popped it back onto C drive. I thought I would get an option like that on my screen but I don't, is there no SD support?

Not sure if it'll allow that.

Try going into your Steam Settings, selecting the "Downloads" tab on the left and then pressing the "Steam Library Folders" button. You might be able to create one on the SD Card there, and then be able to select the SD Card when installing a game in the future.

This seems to have worked!!!!

I'll update this thread once I have confirmed the game boots.

Once this is done mods can close the thread, cheers frazer

The game almost finished installing on the mirco SD then claimed there was a disk write error when installing the mandatory update. I existed and rebooted. The files on the SD upon checking were replaced by a single anon file called "SteamLibrary" of only a few KB, im now attempting to install again. If anyone could tell me if microSD are supported that would be great. Steam installs and runs fine on C drive, played Fish Tycoon no problem.

I have a related question - so hypothetically lets say I have Steam installed on my SSD, and have downloaded and installed 3 games from my library on the SSD. Obviously I can't play 3 games at once.

Can I simply move a game folder out of Common, freeing up 50 GB on my SSD, and park it on my HDD until I want to play again? Then just move the folder back to Common on the SSD and play like nothing happened?

Or will I have to reinstall?

Thanks any insight appreciated. Don't mean to hijack your thread.

From a technical perspective, there is no need for applications to "support" SD-cards. SD-cards are accessed as "disks" like everything else, and applications actually use an even higher levels as they don't mess with sectors -- they access files through the NTFS filesystem.

I think you can do that.. but it dose sound a little silly for me to do that if you can avoid it... its going to take time to move the file from side to side and you will risk it to corrupt
