My SSD died, will I be able to run STEP?

[bpr5016]

Hello! Some background...

 

PC SPECIFICATIONS:

GTX470 (about 1GB VRAM?)

Over 10GB RAM

Operating system running on 750GB hard disc

Extra 100GB SSD for STEP mods

*can provide more details if necessary

 

MY ISSUE:

I was running a STEP 2.2.4 baseline with Neovalen's Skyrim Revisited and some extra mods that Iroha picked out in his mod guide. Basically, it was a highly modded install. Things went great for a while, then all of a sudden my SSD (where I had all my mods installed) died. It may be worth noting that the Skyrim Data folder was located on my HDD.

 

MY QUESTIONS:

Since I only have a HDD remaining on my PC, is it possible to do a STEP install? And any recommendation in whether to partition the drive or not?

 

Thanks!!

Why wouldn't it be? HDD is perfectly fine. I have my system installed on a small SSD and all my games and programs on HDD. Partition doesn't really matter, however I would not install it in the default C:\Program Files\Steam\and so on... but create a separate folder on any partition.

I don't have any partition on my HDD currently. Just 750 GB all on drive C: Do you think there's an advantage to doing a drive partition for me? Or can I just reinstall STEP on this drive, outside of the steam/program files folder like you mentioned.

 

Maybe another option could be to replace my SSD and move my operating system onto it? I had just STEP mods on it before it died. Thanks for your help!
