ok so I formatted windows and installed a fresh copy and moved origin/bf3 folders to another hard drive so I didn't have to download 12gb + 4gb patch again

now origin won't run

wondering what I should do

windows 7 ultimate 64 bit

It did not need to be on the windows OS partition before

are the game files + patch files able to be copied over? I mean, will origin see them as legit files and not re-download them if I re-install origin?
