You could probably just move the files, if you alter the registry paths that list where BF2 is installed:

Open regedit.exe and find this:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\DICE\Battlefield 2(TM)]

and change path listed in InstallDir to the new location.


And in here:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Uninstall\{04858915-9F49-4B2A-AED4-DC49A7DE6A7B}]

Change InstallLocation to the new location. This last entry is just the uninstall inforamtion but needed when/if you need to uninstall it.

Ahhhh!!!

Wish I had known that prior to uninstalling and re-installing to my 2nd drive.... But this will help for other projects I have to move.

The new location should reflect your "new" drive's letter assignment.

I am assuming you are not running a RAID.
