Mike,
Try this. In your new drive, create a new list with just one stock,
for a sample. Then using Windows find function, locate the file just
created today, in the Equis subdirectory. Note down the file name.
Using the windows find again, locate the same file name in the old drive.
Copy the file from the old to the new drive. That should do the trick.
:-)
