installing a app you have on another hard drive.

i use bootcamp, and i have a external hard drive for that. on that i have installed all my games.
i am trying out crossover, and it appears i cant install games i already have.
basically how can i run team fortress 2 when its already installed on another hard drive?

Normally reinstalling shouldn't be a problem.
Have you tried out to install Steam and download the games manually? Your Steam-Account saves all the games you've got purchased, so you only need to download steam and download the games. This way it should work. Also I would suggest to you to NOT install games on an external HD. You got a huge loss of performance due to the speed of an external HD isn't as far as good as the one of a built-in.

To be perfectly honest, CrossOver works best with a fresh install of any game you would like to try out in it. It has a hard time accessing and running a game that is installed elsewhere.
