Win 8 is truly a diseased mechanism.

back up c:\program files\steam\steamapps\common\half-life\ to a zip file and redownload it on your pc, this folder contains all of your custom TFC files.

I am assuming this is what you mean by 'steam and 2fort programs'

Master that is and thanks for the response from all. 
Would I have to reinstall anything.
Deadly thanks for that offer can this be done by just hooking both pc together using a cable connection?

you would need to reinstall all your programs, but afterwards, you would copy this folder and you would have your tfc as you originally had it.

thats gotta be like... 5 terrabytes? or youre transferring via 3.5" floppy disks you should use the cloud (http://lmgtfy.com/?q=free+cloud+storage) if you seriously have as much data to transfer as you make it sound to be. whenever I have to redo my setup, and/or wipe my drive im back up and running within 4 hours, 3 of those hours are to install the OS

Just didn't know how much time I would have today.  Also had to do a op system backup and get all the updates in. Register some software and the normal new things that go with it.
