I want to move my Development to a new Computer. I unfortunately will not have all of the hard drives available that I did on my old machine.
So, I know that I can just copy my Projects over to the new machine and load them, but, will I be able to move my Data Deployment files over and not lose them?
I don't want to have to redo my database configurations since I use the Database Deployment Toolkit to configure my BO's. 
The reason I ask is because that last time I moved machines it seems like I had to redo all the the mappings and I don't want to do that if I can help it.
TIA for any help in this area.

Do I have to change any subdirectories in any of the fields?
Do I have to put the already created deployment files anywhere or can I just recreate those?
Thank in Advance....

Terry,

The answers to your questions really depend on your environment.  In a VS Solution and projects some path may be relative while other are hard coded, specially for the assembly references and any other image or external files you may be using.

I personally use 3 hard drive structure always mapped with the same letter, C:\ D:\ and E:\  all my projects are in drive E:\, so whenever I upgrade my computer I end up reinstalling all programs that needs to be reinstall like VS, SQL-Server, etc, but my projects will always be in the same path in drive E:\

Hope this help, but bottom line, you may need to do some adjustments to path in your projects.

Thanks for the info. I thought maybe that was the case. I will start that next week but just trying to get as much info as possible before I start.
Thanks.

No problem Terry, ask as many questions as you want.  I've been there and it could be intimidating, but good planning lead to good results at the end.  Don't panic, review references path and be ready to get many errors from VS if some of those references are not found, take a deep breath and remove/re-assign those references if needed.
