I just received a new desktop dev. machine. I installed all of the XPe
Tools, sql server, and database, and currently have a working, virgin copy.

Now that I've done that, is it possible for me to shutdown the sql server
and copy my old database into the correct directorys, then copy the
repository over in order to keep from having to add all the QFE's and my
Custom Components, and be back where I started?

I know Brad's posted about how to do it, but personally I've not managed
to get it to work. I suspect however that my database old database was
pooched.
 
FYI,
I copied over the database and repositories, opened database manager and
changed the location of the repositories to the new machines name.

I rebooted and it worked perfectly.

I have never been into databases so I like to play it safe.

1. I stop MSSQLServer on my computer.
2. I backup whole folder.
3. I enable SQL server.

In case that I want to go for old DB then I:
1. Disable SQL.
2. Rename folders to that old one become new one and vice versa.
3. Enable SQL.

This works also.
