I have not tested this, and probably not a great idea for a production DB. But ... you could make a symbolic link from the old data directory to the new one. Do you need both the program and data moved ? or just the data ? Either case will probably work by moving the folders to E: and creating a directory symlink from C: to E: ( Yes modern windows has symbolic links !)

There is only one user database and forest. How can I reinstall without losing the data? Here's my guess: Make a backup of the current database Export the database configuration Do the uninstall and reinstall of MarkLogic Create forest and database using the same names (this seems necessary with database backup) Import the database configuration Restore from the backup Would this work, is there an easier way? Thanks for any advice, Gary
