Downloading stuff on a different drive not working, help :(
Hi, I have 2 drives and if I try and download on the C drive that i have there is no more space left, so that is why i want to start downloading on my D drive , but when i do that it does not work eventhough i still have over 500 giga bites of available space. Can you help, if so please let me know and that would be much appreciated, thanks :)

Did you create a second Steam library on the second drive?
If not, go into your Steam client settings, choose the "Downloads" tab, there at the top select "Steam Library Folders".
That allows you to create a second Steam library on that other HDD.
After that, when you download a new game, Steam will give you the option to switch between the two librarys as download target.
