Replacement hard disc

Post by jcy » Sat Mar 03, 2012 5:47 pm

Presently, I have NL2000 installed on my Partition disc 'I'

However, I have a new 2TB disc being installed tomorrow and want to transfer all my FSX Photo Scenery on to it including NL2000.

I would like to delete the NL2000 entries from the FSX scenery library, then cut and paste the NL2000 files from 'I' to the new disc 'E' and then, using the 'add' files facility in the FSX scenery library, add them back again from the new disc.

I think that may be a bit faster than installing it all again but....will it work?

John
PS - To explain - I will be using the 'I' partition for something else not linked to flight simulation.

No you need to uninstall the whole NL2000 and also uninstall the installer.
After that you start again to install the installer first and give up the new path (in your case that could be E\NL2000).
When you installed the installer again you can start to install all the NL2000 packages by using the installer which will create all the NL2000 directories on the new E disk.

Thanks Wolf but with help from another source I found an easier and quicker way.

I pasted the scenery to the new disc and altered the drive letter in the cfg to that of the new disc.

Worked like a charm. :D
