This is what everything was like before this happened..

C drive on SATA0
Steam drive on SATA1

Now, I got a new hard drive, so

C is on SATA0
New drive is on SATA1
Steam drive is on SATA2

Now, it seems that whenever I close a steam game, explorer.exe will crash. this is EVERY time. I can do it on demand, start a game, close the game.

I really have no idea what to do. I've tried uninstalling both drives and rebooting, letting Windows redetect them to no avail.

That would have been my next recommendation. ;) Nice troubleshooting step; glad you got your Steam issue resolved.
