Default Had to get a new Hard Drive

Okay. I have a particularly odd situation. My modded SH3 is on my C: drive (parallel). However, there was problems with Windows, so I purchased a 200Gig Serial Hard drive. Now, because Windows sometimes *******s up, it is necessary to reformat and reinstall Windows XP SP2 and then all your programs and your data is lost. So, I left my C: drive where it was and put the new hard drive below it. Then, I partitioned 20 Gig to install Windows XP (Drive D: ) in and the 2nd partition (Drive E: ) is simply formated (no windows stuff) which is where I will install all my programs (which I have already done) except for SH3. Now, I have my SH3 on drive C: with all my mods installed. Now this SH3 was created using a DVD which is no longer usable because of too many scratches.

Okay, here is my question. I purchased a new SH3 DVD (different installation number). So, I have to install SH3 on Drive E: under program files/ubisoft. I am not too worried where it creates my SH3 career folder because I have my saved career backed up on the new Drive.

Once I install SH3 using the new DVD, is that SH3 the same as the other SH3 which was installed using the worn out DVD?

So, what I want to do, once the Silent Hunter III directory is created, is to move my already modded SH3 files (which are on drive C: ) into it (on drive E: ) and then continue on with my career once I put them into the folder that is created.

Does anyone see any problem with this.

Anxiously waiting to install SH3 and get going again.

BTW, Drive C: is still active, but once I have SH3 moved to the new drive, I will reformat the Drive C.
