Moving DAZ to another drive

in Daz Studio Discussion

Got a larger HD (moving content from E: to P:) and wanted to move my content for DAZ (latest version) to it.

Example of folders moved: Content Database, Downloads, Libraries, ManifestFiles, Studio, Thumbnails. All listed under DAZ.

I copied everything over then went into the manager and repointed all my folders. Kept the exact same paths, just a different drive letter.

Now when DAZ starts it can't find the CMS.

What am I looking to point it at for that? 

Also, when I try something it doesn't "stick" the CMS Settings tab of preferences line for cluster remains blank

The CMS Cluster Directory in the Content Directory Manager is similarly blank and can't be set.

The cms is, supposedly, on C:/users/username/AppData/Roaming/DAZ 3D/cms 

When I browse it is there.

The Content Library works (but there's no start/stop CMS -- grayed out)

Smart Content is showing Start CMS and Stop CMS as grayed out.

In DIM it can't connnect to the CMS but it sees everything that is installed AND can install things.

Clearly I've missed something...

Anyone have thoughts?

Thanks!

    Do you need to keep E: as E:? If not the simplest method would probably be to make the current E: into Q: and then chnage P: into a new E:

    I was actually thinking about doing just that. Wanted to see if I could fix it without.

    In reading it looks like once the CMS is jacked up...there's not much to do other than to reinstall and redownload everything...
