Your post confuses the shit out of me.

 

Just reinstall your games dude.

 

Solved the problem myself now! Had to create a mapp called "common" inside steamapps on my HDD. Now it recognizes the game and installs it.

So I upgraded to a SSD where I have my OS and programs installed on. I keep my games on the HDD. The problem that I have is that steam doesn't seem to recognize my games that I transferred from a external hard drive to my HDD, and instead starts to download them all over again. I keep my games under "Local disk (F:) - Steam - steamapps", and have made so steam installs games in this folder. It has worked fine to transfer games from an external hard drive to my HDD before, and steam has the recognized the game and installed it, without downloading the games again. I did this yesterday even. But now it doesn't even recognize the game and starts to download it from the beginning. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this, or maybe even knows how to fix it?
