Help with my database

Postby C2Knuckles » Sat Mar 05, 2011 6:33 pm

So here's what I did...

I got a new hard drive (call it HD1) and installed the OS on that. On HD2 I had my old OS and PT3 with my database and everything.
So now I have the computer running on HD1 and I reinstalled PT3 on there. Now what I can't find out is how to get my PT3 database from HD2 over to my fresh install on HD1.

I think I'd be able to do it if I could run the OS off of HD2 but the goddam computer won't boot from that hard drive anymore.
Should be easy to do this but I can't figure it out


...and yes, I realize I should have backed everything before I started this mess.

Could it be as easy as copy and replacing the Poker Tracker 3 and PostgreSQL folders on HD1 with HD2? Will everything work find that way?

So the plan is to switch everything to the new drive and stop using the old one altogether?

If you copy the PostgreSQL Data folder to the new drive and then install PostgreSQL there too as described in the 'how to reinstall postgresql guide here it should reconnect to the existing databases.

Works just like it did before now. Thanks
