Due to a major malfunction with my previous laptop I have had to replace it. I was able to recover and remove my old C drive and now have it as an extrenal drive. I have had to reinstall primavera onto my new machine but I was wondering if there is any way of recovering the database from my old computer as it has a load of information that would take a very long time to reproduce in the new install. Thanks in advance

    after a stand-alone installation you have the MS SQL-Server 2005 Management Studio... From there you can connect to the SQL server on your old c-drive --> Backup --> Connect to your current SQL-server --> Restore --> Synchronize pubuser and privuser.

    If you didn’t understand my answer, ask your IT staff. They should be able to do it.

    You learnt to do back-ups in future?

    Good luck!
