    I'm assuming you are having problems with Win7 and Vista seeing each other? If not and you are able to see the networked drives then it's just a matter of copying the WoW folder directly to your new location. WOW doesn't require anything else to run, just what's in the folder.

    Moving files is much easier if you get a Linux CD/flash drive instead. Before I started imaging my drives I would manually back things up with a Knoppix flash drive.

    Yes I can see it but it is not letting me access it from my network. It says it cannot find the network path.
