Is your Portal 2 directory on D:/Portal 2/portal2? What a weird place to install.

Isn't it supposed to be in:

H:Program files/steam/steamapps/portal 2?

maybe thats what the problem is. try putting it on the local disk (H) instead of D, and put the directory to portal 2, not portal 2/portal2.

your local disk is H???
why not C like normal people?

Why not? My steam is also on my L: Drive. I like to use my c:/ for really important stuff and l:/ has my games, music, movies etc.

But yea; make sure your game configuration is correct:
Hammer -> Tools -> Options -> Game Data Files and make sure the path is correct there!

In modern computers the system is installed on a SSD because it's really fast. However, the volume for SSDs is not too high yet (or very expensive), therefore the clever way is to use the SSD for the system and some often used programs and files. The rest (especially games, movies & music) should go on a secondary HDD because the HDD speed doesn't really matter for games, movies and music.
And even apart from SSDs there are hundreds of more or less good reasons why not to install games on partition C.

I mean, it doesn't... yes, having an SSD helps load times dramatically (50% faster) but once you're actually in a game, you won't get better framerates or performance from SSDs.

Basically loading stuff will be the only thing that's improved with an SSD. While this helps play games faster the increase of price often isn't considered to be a good choice. Though you could consider installing the games you play the most on ssd's... ... but that's over 2000% offtopic.

^ this. Also: try to put 500+ GB of games on an SSD. Will be expensive and therefor it's just stupid to put steam's games directory on an SSD (unless you don't own many Steam games). Sponsor me and I'm in! But I still wouldn't spam the games on C.
