So I bought a new hard drive because my 120 gig SSD was running out of space, and decided to start playing eve again because I now had the space to do so. Got it fully installed and everything on the new drive, put a plex on my account, fit a talos, and went to school.

Came home and the drive isn't working, and I've ruled out everything besides a faulty drive. Anyways, since I had a plex on my account I decided to make room on my SSD for eve.

But whenever I try to install it, I get an invalid drive error, (Invalid Drive :/E). I'm sure this is because there are some remnants of EVE on my SSD that say that EVE is already installed on the drive that isnt there. What can I do to fix this? I've tried using the repair and uninstall tools, and have also deleted every file I can find on my SSD relating to EVE.

Fixed it by changing the cache location in the launcher, looks to be downloading smoothly now :)
