Hi, I've just got a new external hard drive and I need to know if I can just copy and paste the NI content from the old one, or do I have to reinstall them all again on the new drive?

Thanks in advance!

    You can copy/paste the libraries from one drive to another. As long as the drive letter of the new drive stays the same (D:, E: etc) and you've retained the folder names/structure everything should work ok. If any of those change you have to use the "Maintenance-Repair" function in Native Access to tell it where the libraries have moved to.
