There are a number of these threads about, and I have read them *honest* but I don't think I have come across my specific situation.
Here's my situation - my old computer suffered HardDrive failure which leaves me only able to start it in Windows Safe Mode. Before you ask, yes I have done pretty much everything possible to repair, restore, reindex, etc, etc the old hd.
In Safe Mode - I can not run HEM(postgres wont start - even after I did manage to get it past the online validation process - by essentially re-registering it on the same computer) -
In anycase, I can not do the standard export technique. So I have gathered up what I feel are all my handhistories, and copied my entire HEM folder as per:
FAQ - Hold'em Manager Poker Tracking Software :: Reinstalling on a new PC - Backup Tips (http://faq.holdemmanager.com/questions/372/Reinstalling+on+a+new+PC+-+Backup+Tips)
So the plan is to reinstall fresh from the full install package on the new PC, then importing in all my hands old school style. And then I will try and scrounge around and do the best I can to remember things like bonus's that I had recorded in the db. I presume I have no way to get my notes...
My old PC was a 32 bit Win XP. My new one is a 64bit Windows7 - can I still just simply overwrite all the HoldemManager folder with my old folder's files after I install ? - as per the instructions in the video - to preserve some config options, hud, etc...
Anything I am overlooking - or is this the best approach in my situation?

Can/should I use my HoldEm Manager folder files from a Win 32 system on a new Win 7 64 bit system when moving to a new PC?
