    Default installing on another pc

    I got ETW recently and tried to install it on my pc, but it had a fat32 file system and etw doesn't work on that, so i deleted the game and tried installing on my dad's pc. But then, steam popped up the duplicate cd key and denied me from installing the game. How do I fix it.

    steam's a pain, if you want to make it easy just use the same steam account, if not it'll break

    Moved to technical help.

    The game (cd key) is tied to your steam account. All you have to do is download steam on the computer you want the game on and then download the game again.
    You don't make multiple steam accounts for this game in other words.

    Your harddrive has to be NTFS because of the size of the files. FAT32 went out when XP was born. All new drives formatted NTFS.

    So is FAT32. FAT is DOS. NTFS was introduced when Windows NT was released.
