Default Move ZD Settings To "New Computer?"

It's not actually a new computer, it's a new hard drive in the same computer.

When I reinstall Zimbra on the new drive, is there something on the old drive I can copy to the new one to transfer all my ZD settings, accounts and data to the new drive?

Thanks for any help.

Is it lonely in here or is it just me.

Hundreds of views but not a single comment. Is there no one who knows the answer to this question? Or should I assume the lack of an answer means there is no way to do it?

Why don't you just copy the original folder structure to the new HD (make sure you keep a copy) and then install ZD to that location? I seem to remember doing that a long time ago, it my or may not work.

Thanks for responding phoenix... I appreciate it.

I can certainly try that.

But what I was hoping for was a definitive way to do it before experimenting so that I don't screw anything up on my nice fresh drive and Windows installation.

Doesn't look like that is coming, so your suggestion may be the only option.

The worst thing that would happen is that you: a) might not get it to 'find' your current data or b) you might have to uninstall it but it certainly won't do anything bad to your PC.
