sArAkUzZa Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 You mean without reinstall? Im sorry, you will have to make backups and reinstall OS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan M Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 As sArAkUzZa said, you will need to do a full reinstall. Which is why separate drives are recommended when running gameservers, opposed to the OS and files, both for redundancy and ease of access.

farchord Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 And the TCadmin monitor is so easy to reinstall... I personnally can go from a blank updated OS to a full TCadmin setup installed in about 20mins heh (As long as drive letters don't change) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
{-SMAKU-}_MotorMouth Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 That's why it's best to run your userfiles on a different partition and/or HDD. That way if you have a problem with the OS install it will save you a lot of headaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santino Cid Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 You can also ask your host to install Windows on a new hard drive and have them mount your old one as a slave to copy over all your data. I good host would not mind doing this. TCAdmin also had a nice backup tool you can use for server moves. If you feel you need help with the move, put a ticket in to TCAdmin and they will give you a step-by-step to make sure everything goes smoothly. As for the initial question, you will need to do a full reinstall to go from 32 bit to 64. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sArAkUzZa Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I will have to move to enterprise edition soon.....reinstall is a must, unfortunately. Backup all of user files, game files, tcadmin database, and mysql databases(if you use it). Reinstall OS, tcadmin, mysql and just paste that files you had before. You will have to install same version of sql that you have now, or it will not work properly. I think this is way to go..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
