Balls ! out of space !

As the title says ime out of space, !

When i installed BF3 i had an old 30Gb SSD lying around that used to be a boot drive from another pc, and i thought hmmmm thats a good idea i will use that SSD for BF3 alone as at that time BF3 was only about 11Gb in size, but now BF3 has become a massive bloated 35Gb monster with all the bloody updates ! :evil: so my question is this:

Can i just copy all the data on the full SSD to another drive and then continue to update BF3 on the new drive ? as all Battlefield data is on that SSd disc.

Or am i going to have to uninstall BF3, remove the SSD, fit the new drive and re install BF3 and download all 35Gb all over again, which will take a fucking eternity on my conection ! :evil:

Dam you EA ! Rage.....
The Fail Cakes are on me !................

I think you should save your current BF3 Folder.
Deinstall BF3
Install BF3 on the new Disk - new folder etc.
Copy your backupped BF3 folder into the new installed folder
Try to start.

you could use your 30 gb ssd for the memory extension file if you have not so much ram.
