    Alright,
    I recently installed Half-Life 2. The game was installed onto the C: of my harddrive which is the smallest of my two partitions.

    Can I move the Valve Folder from C :program Files to G :program Files and have it work properly.

    If this is possible, what's the easiest way of doing it without screwing up something?

    probably not since the game probably searches for a registry setting or something to figure out the directory. You should probably reinstall the game in the new location, and then copy stuff over from the old location like saved games or patches.
