If the game was installed to a Windows installation in C, and that Windows installation was wiped and replaced, then windows won't recognize that program as installed anymore.Right? Generally, I wouldn't bother keeping my actual installations away from the windows partition, but rather the game's files to install it from (.iso's, .exe's, whatever) in the storage partition.

He wasn't there again today.
I wish, I wish he'd go away.
Really? I haven't experimented too much but I always thought most games need their registry entries to work or something.Like Deus Ex for example: Its CD check can be bypassed just by editing a line in the .ini file, and the installation can be renamed and moved where ever the fuck you want and copied and pasted and duplicated to hell and back, but without its installation registry entries it won't run. Someone on the Off Topic Productions forums made himself a custom installer to just enter the registry entries for Deus Ex for when he wipes and reinstalls windows, so he doesn't have to fully re-install the game itself.

indeed. Most games will run, though but only some will only let you play online, most you need the key with your cd-key to play online, like in Call of Duty and BF2. Out of the 10 games I have installed, 6 can be played no matter what, 2 need the CD-key entry and the other 2 have to be installed because of registry entries and missing DLL files.
