Installed Games on Another Computer's F Drive, Now my G: Drive Can't See Them

Basically, I installed Steam games on another computer with better internet because I purchased 100GB of games and only have a 250GB monthly limit. I installed them in what should have been the same folder, but the other computer recognized it as the F: drive and not the G: drive like my main PC.

Now that I have my HDD plugged into my main PC, the games are virtually undetectable by Windows and I cannot access them at all. They are there, the space is being used, but I don't know how to swap them to be installed on the G: drive.

Can anyone help? They were all installed through Steam and I assume the solution is just to change their drive from F to G, but I don't even know if that's possible.

Thanks!

That's because YOUR windows OS doesn't know they exist. The other machine's Win OS does tho.
Try this...
> Browse to the Steam installation folder for the Steam installation (C:\Program Files\Steam by default).
> Delete all of the files and folders except the SteamApps & Userdata folders and Steam.exe
> Launch Steam and log into your account

(How do I move my existing Steam Installation?)

You may want to make a backup of the steam folder somewhere else in case something goes wrong.
