Hello everyone!
I had this problem where steam was unable to write to my C or D drive. My C drive is my SSD with my OS installed and my D drive is my HDD where I want all my steam games to be installed.
I asked a friend and he did some stuff with permissions and registry. (I'm not sure the details) and now steam is installed on my C drive along with an mmo I love to play. However after creating a "Steam Library" folder on D drive and designating it as the location for my other steam games I wanted to download to it I got a unable to write error. I'm so confused about this permission issue since I'm the only person that has an account on my pc. (I'm admin)
To be specific: http://puu.sh/hDvhv/600ac5d01e.png (picture of the error)
My friend was just visiting at the time and will be a while before he comes over again. He doesn't like to give instructions via phone :| So I decided to open a thread about this problem that's been plaguing me for 2 and 1/2 months.
Any help given would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
