Re: Moving the MTADATA folderI want to move the whole folder, if I move the database other files are left in the folder. Unfortunatly it appears that I can not just move the folder and reassign the drive letter to the new disk, the system generates errors. Assume it looks at the disk signiture or somthing. I assume ghosting the disk will not keep the signiture?
