Absolutely :-) (or, more simply, ignorant...)

My problem is that in the init files there are references to path names containing the original drive letter. In fact, I tried replacing all the files in the new PC but I wasn't able to start the db (couldn't find E:\.... files). Now I'm trying to setup a network drive named E: and put all the files there. But, as you already pointed out, I'm probably *a bit* confused...
