Hi,
Could you please tell me if I move my HEM from Drive (C:) to Drive (D:), for example, is the HEM gonna work the same way after that? I need to clear some memory from one of my drives and this is one of the things I plan to move.
Thank you

The HM1/2 program file folders generally take up very little space. You would gain a lot more space by moving the postgresql database files - http://hm2faq.holdemmanager.com/questions/1172/Move+Database+to+Another+Hard+Drive+or+Partition
This program will help you find what files are taking up the most space, visually.

Thank you,
However it seems that I am having trouble when copy/pasting this:
Xcopy "%appdata%\holdemmanager\Database\*.*" f:\newParent /E /C /I /H /R /Y
Is there anything I have to modify. It says "invalid drive specification" in the command promt

Actually, I changed the f:/ folder to my desired folder (D:/).
And now the error is: File not found - *.*
Is there something I can do about it ?

Make sure you have space on the drive so the files can be moved.
Please see this FAQ to alleviate any security bottlenecks:

Does the file exist in the location you are trying to move from?

What file am I looking for - *.* is not a file. Does this means all files from the folder?

These are the files and folders I have in my HEM folder at the moment before the "Xcopy step"

As you can seen I don' have the Database folder. What shall I do?

*.* means all files... but you don't seem to have the /Database subfolder in
C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\HoldemManager\
---
In HM2: go to the Home tab--> Database--> add database, and at this screen check what the default location is of your 'database parent folder' .
To also change the location of this folder to your other drive, either:
-(easiest) create a new database, (with this folder on D:/), and reimport all your hands.
-Edit the location of this folder in pgadminIII, read: http://hm2faq.holdemmanager.com/questions/1172/Move+Database+to+Another+Hard+Drive+or+Partition
(instead of xcopy, you can just use Windows' cut/paste on the folder to move it to D:/)

I have copied my whole Holdemmanager folder instead of copying the database folder which I don't have.
Currently my HEM is working fine even though I skipped the last step with the pgAdmin stuff.
However, when I try to do the pgAdmin thing I do not have the same things as your example when I go to the Settings.
This is a picture of what I see

Currently, as I said, the HEM is working properly - Do I have to finish all the steps (pgAdmin left). Is the HEM really working properly at the moment, or am I missing something?

Yes, I am using HM1 - Do I have to change something there?

In case of HM1 you already have done all - just use it.
