| Posted: | | | | So the title is my dilemma. Old laptop HD throwing up BSOD's. Replaced HD with new one, kept the old drive. Why? Because I was able to cherry-pick alot of files off of it. Now I have a docking station I bought, and I can salvage aLOT more than I did by hand when I was still working off the old HD (in between BSOD's). No more BSOD's now, and it looks like most info wasn't affected (that I've noticed).
My question: I could download my online collection I guess and use that with my newly installed DVD Profiler on my new HD. But I need to know if pulling a directory off the partially-toast former HD would be light years quicker?
For instance: for Firefox browser, you can either export your user profile, or you can just save a specific directory of it on your HD instead. Both ways work. Is there a directory containing all my 'stuff' on my old HD that I can basically just 'move' onto the new HD and into the new install of DVD Profiler?? OS is still Win 7-64bit.
On another note, I see a fair amount of people wondering if this company is still functioning. I'd also like to know thoughts on that, as yes...I see plenty of old dates on this website now. A bit disturbing. Is anyone moving their lists to another database program...'just in case' DVD Profiler is shut down? I'm not assuming DVD Profiler is the Titanic. Just would like a backup plan, just in case.
Thanks in advance. |

| Posted: | | | | Essentially it would be the data form the following locations:
[drive]:\Users\[user_name]\Documents\DVD Profiler\
You could be more selective in the files you transfer over from the above location, but which files really come down to a case-by-case basis for each user based on what they're using. If you've changed your layout from the default one, you'd also want to copy the following file:
[drive]:\Users\[user_name]\AppData\Local\DVD Profiler\Layout.dpl |
