hammer.exe looking for gameinfo.txt in another directory
Recently I got my pc on repair but nothing from E:/ was deleted. The only difference is they changed E:/ to D:/ and F:/ to E:/
And now hammer.exe keeps looking out for E:/SteamLibrary/Team Fortress 2/tf/gameinfo.txt
Fix? And please, fast answers

Just don't say "reinstall the game" because I am not wasting 18 more hours of my time because my internet is slow for some reason and Half Life 2 took 2 hours to download.

You shouldn't have to do a complete reinstall. I had this problem with all my games when I moved my Steam install to a different drive. Try verifying the game cache. It should force everything to point to the new drive.

Well
Since F:/ is now E:/ wouldn't moving the steam library which was in the old E:/ which is now in D:/ to the old F:/ which is now E:/?

You dont need to move or re-install anything, just need to change the drive letters back to what they were.

Googled results for "change drive letters[www.google.co.uk]"

Go to the folder where hammer is located and look for a file called something like GameConfig.txt that stores the configurations for hammer. Open it up in a texteditor and manually update the file locations it stores. That should fix the problem.
