New HardDrive...what files do I move?

fasteddie_21 · 02-01-2003, 07:30 PM

My HD was corrupted about 5 days ago and I was able to save all important data on it. I have since bought a new HD and am ready to transfer all my data files from the old HD to the new, but I don't know what I need to transfer as far as STB 2003 is concerned. I'm in my 5th year in my solo league and don't want to lose it, so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

You need to transfer all your leagues that you want to keep (*.lg folders) and then reinstall the game on your new hard drive. It's possible it would work just moving the game directory over but I doubt it. Since you don't need to worry about the license issue the easiest and wisest move would be a reinstall. Good luck.

Ok cool...the last question I have is do I reinstall before or AFTER I transfer all the files?

Before, I'd say so that you have a place to put the files.

As long as you install the game and its latest patch at infogrames, you should be fine if you do it either before or after..Before would be easier as you would know where to transfer the files to, but whatever you find easiest.

Let us know how it goes!
