[QUOTE="dmcaloney, post: 1006054, member: 115952"] Looking for some advice please. Have been running MP 1.1.2 on an XP machine for over a year now. Works great, however the movies were on external USB drives connected to another machine (networked using homehubs). These external USB's were prone to problems, so decided to install an HP Microserver and copy the movies from the external USB drives over to these server drives (obviously slightly different setup). My problem is that the HCPC running XP is having difficulties connecting to the networked server so I was considering wiping the machine, installing windows 7 and re-installing MP 1.1.2.I figure then that networking issues will go away if all 3 machines are running Win7. I have lots of movies on there 1000+ some of which were manually edited in MovingPictures to correct covers etc, as well as lots of TV series, so obviously I would like the new installation to avoid having to start from scratch. Can I simply copy the MP databases before I wipe the machine and paste them onto the new machine after MP 1.1.2 is installed? Or am I being too simplistic? Many thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
