So I have windows bootcamped on my Macbook Pro so I can play steam stuff while i'm away from my PC.

I have a seperate partition I created to give myself some more room for games. However this is separated from my main windows disk. I want to either join this disk or figure out a way to save games through steam so I can download them and play them. When I try to download a new steam game on my windows bootcamp, it automatically tries to save to the main disk where steam is. How can I either combine these disks, or save the games to the separate disk?

Already tried disk utility in both mac and windows. Bootcamp doesn't help with this problem either, it only creates new partitions for windows.
 
If you are using Vista, you can do this. Im not sure about XP.

I believe there is a program for XP to manage partitions.
If you are using Vista, click start-right click computer-click manage-click disk management.
Now you can either delete one, or i think there is a way to combine them but im not sure.
 
Since steam installs/downloads games to its directory couldn't you just install steam on the partition you want to put your games on?

To merge partitions you'll need a partition manager for your OS, just google for it, you'll find plenty
 
Easiest way would be install steam on your games partition. I don't believe there is a way to get steam to download games anywhere but the partition its installed on.

Harder and most likely more expensive way would be to get a partition editor for Mac capable of joining partitions.
