Is there any way to have 2 steam account installs on your computer. I want one for legit and other for hacking. I tried to download to install to another folder but it only lets me repair or delete old account. I even renamed my legit steam and moved it around but the new install still finds it.

Yes I know I can log into the current account with diff names but when you get banned that account is banned under hacker user name but the whole account is flagged and watched by steam.

if you have 2 steam accounts both with mw2 then yes
you CAN NOT share games between accounts tho so you must pay seperatly

You don't have to reinstall steam ;)
In Steam you can switch ( Log on and Log off ) from your 'Legit' account and you 'Cheat' account ;)

OK but what I want is two CD Key accounts.
1. Steam CODMW2 legit
2. Steam CODMW2 hack
That way when or if I get banned I can simply log into my legit account and still play until I get my other CD Key/account installed for hacking again.

I have two drives C: and D: I want to install one on drive C: the other on D: or different folder but steam will not let me install another steam client. I was told that if I have one steam account with 2 COD keys installed and one of them get banned, steam will flag not ban the other account since they are on the same client. I hope I'm making sense here.

You need to have two separate MW2 keys, and use each one for each account.

So on your hacking one, you get banned, you legit account would be untouched.

no need to install steam and mw2 on both C: and D:

just install steam,
login to legit account and register mw2 key
then
login to hack account and register another mw2 key

so both keys are separated therefore if your hack one get's banned your legit one won't.
