downloading old hands into new computer

[bradleyboy]

hello, I just purchased a PT3 in order to get a PT 2 for my new laptop. I have about 200K hands on my desktop which I have backed up onto disks. I would like to take these histories and put them onto the new computer with the new PT2. How do I do that? Thanks in advance for any help

I have about 200K hands on my desktop which I have backed up onto disks.

Do you have the actual hand histories or the PT2 database(s)?

[bradleyboy]

hand histories i think,. What I did was... about once a week I would move the histories in PT2 to a separate file and then save them to disks. This allowed the program to run more efficiently I heard, and also would save them in case of a computer crash. Somehow, pokertracker still kept track of them and now I would like to be able to use the info on a new computer. Any advice? I hope I am making sense

Let me clarify, I didn't move histories from PT2, I moved them and stored them from the file that PT2 had stored them on my computer.

If you have the actual hand histories then just import them from whatever disks they are on into PT3.

ok, i have figured out how to get a single table session, but the disk i have has like 1900 files on it. How do I get them all to import without having to do them each individually?

[ptrack pat]

Use the File > Auto-Import... > Generic Setup window in PT2 to import all these files.
