The colon and backslash are important to avoid replacement errors. * If the drive letter changes, open the database.xml file with windows notepad, and replace the drive letter with edit > replace. After that, "check" and "clean" your database. If you want to migrate from an internal drive to an external drive, you must keep the folder structure and filepaths, and copy all data from main database to the local database, except from the header part. The main database must be keeped on /documents/virtualdj folder. VirtualDJ database is based on filepaths, so if you want to keep your cue points (or keys, bpms, dates, etc.) to your new machine, the paths can not be changed. If your media files are not on external drives/HD partitions and your database is located at /documents/virtualdj folder - a "main" database called "virtualdj database v7.xml" - you must have on your new computer the same folder structure to all your media files. Go to the disk root and copy all folder and files (including the local database) to the new HD partition or external drive. If your media files are on a HD partition also with a local database, It is a simple copy-and-paste operation. Well, this always works on my both computers with VDJ 7 and WinXP and 7. VirtualDJ local database usually changes the drive letter if you plug your external drive on a new system and the letter changes. If you have an external drive with a local database called "virtualdj local database v7.xml", I think there is nothing to do.
