billypnats Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 A while ago I installed another hardrive, it doesn't have anything on it I just intended to use it as storage (non bootable), it was just plugged in and formatted, after a while I put space consuming games like mass effect 2, oblivion + mods, etc etc on it. now here the problem... whenever I open regedit, I cannot see any registry thats related to programs that I installed on B drive (thats the secondary HDD) I know the registries are there, because programs (like tes4edit) can still recognize where oblivion was installed even though it is on the B drive Help plz?

evilneko Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 On my system Mass Effect has most of its registry entries in HKLM\SOFTWARE\BioWare, HKLM\SOFTWARE\Electronic Arts\EA Games\ These keys do not exist on yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bben46 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Windows has only one registry, so if you are able to play the entries must be there. What do you want to edit in the registry that you cannot find? Try the search function for anything with the name of the program in it. for example to find the Oblivion entries, search for Oblivion and you should find some.

billypnats Posted September 18, 2010 Author Share Posted September 18, 2010 nope.. tried the search... i tried searching fallout, oblivion, bethesda, etc etc... anything that I installed on drive B doesn't have registry...or at least none that I could find in regedit EDIT: Oh nvm I found it.... all the stuff I installed under B was found in a separate key called WOW6342node sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTerminator2004 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 nope.. tried the search... i tried searching fallout, oblivion, bethesda, etc etc... anything that I installed on drive B doesn't have registry...or at least none that I could find in regedit EDIT: Oh nvm I found it.... all the stuff I installed under B was found in a separate key called WOW6342node sorry Hm, I just checked that (I have a similar setup), and you're right - it does seem to store anything installed on a second drive under HKLM/WOW6342node. That's really odd, I'm curious why it would do that. Do you have a 64-bit OS, by any chance? I'm guessing you're on either Vista or 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
