How to move a database?

Postby free2be1362 » Sat Jul 11, 2009 2:40 pm

I'm running out of space on my C: drive and would like to move the PT3 dabases to my D: drive to free up space on C:. How is this accomplished? and once moved, how do I tell PT3 where to look for the databases after they've been moved? (I didn't find the faq re hot swaps/networking very useful to solve my problem). I'm running under Windows Vista.

thanks, dave

Have a look at this thread - it refers to USB drives, but I think the same will apply for another hard disk.
