Are they on a separate drive?

make sure that your destination pathway in steam is still linked to your install folder. also you could delete all the flies in your steam folder except these Steam.exe (also known as the application under 'type) Steamapps (contains your game files) Userdata (This is optional, as it contains game saves for *some* games).

Are they on a different drive to your boot drive?

1. Try restarting

2. Try and install one of the games, that were originally working and see if it discovers original files.

3. Make sure the directory where your games are located are shown in steam

Check your steam settings to make sure steam thinks that there is a steam library there

want to go more in depth, walk me through it?

go to install them, it should first scan for files, and it will find the game and then it will be playable.

 

Happened to me before.
