restore from backup to different location

[gingerneil]

I have just had to reinstall windows, and it has been put onto f: rather than e:
I have a backup of my old system (using norton ghost) so have all the old files at hand that can be restored to the new system disk.
However, I have tried restoring the gbpvr dir to the new Program Files directory, and running a reinstall using 'repair', but I get errors when trying to run GBPVR.

Is it possible to do what I am trying to ? If so, how do I do it ?

I have tried doing a clean instal, but I want to maintain all my old channel mappings, settings, recording etc -and I had it just how I liked it before the reinstall of windows!

Why don't you just reinstall GBPVR, thats the best thing to do.

but then I'd lose everything !

If I understand you correct it is the applications drive that has become F: instead of E:. Can't you just change the drive letters back to the old situation?

but that would require reinstalling XP again.... and I've got everything else set up now!

Sub - is there nothing I can do ?

Sorry, I dont test stuff like this, so you're out of my area of expertise. Infact I've never installed it anywhere other than the default directory.

I'd just do a fresh install, then assuming its the same version as the backup, I'd try copying the backed up gbpvr.db3 file into the new installed.

ok - thanks. do you mean the mdb file ?
Is that where all of the channel mappings are stored ?

Yes, if you're still using the old MDB database.

Is that where all of the channel mappings are stored ?

yes.

Sorry I read your post to fast. Indeed you said F: is your _system_ drive
