Migrating Dreamweave

I have had to reinstall dreamweaver mx on another computer, as my old one
crashed and burned. I have installed the dreamweaver mx on my new computer, and
have moved my file folder to it also. How can I access my website so that I
may work on it. I spent five hours yesterday trying to do so with no effect. Do
I need to contact the ISP? Do I need to create a new site? Can I import from my
current site? :frown;

Dreamweaver stores your site definitions in the Windows Registry. If your
old hard drive is dead, and if you did not back up those definitions and
transfer them over too, then you are horked. While DMX has the ability to
back up each site definition individually, this utility can do it all in one
pass -

If you do not have your old definitions, you will need to recreate a new
site and fill in the connection information manually. Point the local site
into the root of the folders you copied over.

How could this take you 5 hours? Just curious....

Why it took so long: first i had to contact MM support and get my old MX id. I
had the current one, but it required both the current and the new one. Then I
had trouble with the password. Then when I tried to create a new site using
the same info. from the old one it kept rejecting it stating the password was
wrong. It works on the old machine but not on this one. So, thar took a good
hour of messing around. Probably five hours was a bit overstatement. It was
more like 3 hours.

Thanks for your help.

Good luck - you will still need the site definitions from the old system to
complete the migration.
