New drive

Postby jimm57 » Wed Sep 27, 2006 11:53 am

Hello experts,

OK, so I bought a new SATA 250 Gig drive, the price was great at Best Buys here in the states. After I load the OS, is it possible for me to reinstall FS9, do the update to 9.1, the no cd patch and then drag & drop the files from my current FS9 folder to get all the add on planes, gagues, texture and scenery files and have it overwrite all the original files? Will it still work?

Thanks

Yes it will, however I suggest a full reinstall of any payware, don't just drag and drop.
