Damn. Backup of Game Files Did not Work. Help!
 
I had to change harddrives on my laptop. Before doing so, I back up my Universe as suggested in this thread: Backing up game before reformat? - Front Office Football Central

Any ideas on how to restore the league? Thanks in advance.

You need the leagues folder as well.

Damn, wish I knew that.

I guess I can plug my old harddrive back into my laptop and transfer the league folder. I wonder if it is that easy, or if the BIOS will get screwed up?

I reinstalled my old harddrive and my league folder is empty. I moved both the universe and league folders to the C:\Program Files\Solecismic Software\Front Office Football 2007 directory, and the game is still telling me that there are no single player games.

WTF. This sucks . . .

EDIT: Could it be because I d/l the new version of the game (6.3) when I was running an earlier version?

If your old computer was 6.2 and your new is 6.3 then be sure you read about where the files are supposed to be, the location moved with the patch.

Thanks, but I still don't get it. I don't have the file structure as explained in the FAQ. I will research more, however, because there must be something going haywire on me! :)

The files are hidden in the new structure - make sure you're able to view hidden files in Explorer. They are in a different path though depending on which version of Windows you're using.

That was it; the folders were hidden from view. I am now back up and running! Can't thank you enough!!
