Hi,

The best way to move them is to un-install & re-install. This will set the game up correctly on the system(Shortcut links too).

Please note: -

The game saves might be lost this way though!

No offence, but if this is you only drive, they screwed you bad.

Green drive are VERY slow, and ment just for storage, not running games.

Before you start putting everything over there, try playing the ones on there now, and see if it's acceptable to you.
