I recently formatted my C drive and transferred ICQ to the D drive.
After re-installing everything I can't seem to figure out how to copy/paste my old contacts directory??
Any ideas?

in your icq directory there is a sub directory called db and/or newdb, just copy these directories back onto the c: and let them over write the directories of the same name.. :)

In ICQ 99b, the directory you want is ICQ\db99b

On ICQ 2000a, the directory is ICQ\2000a

After you re-install ICQ, register your UIN under existing user. Then copy the contents of these directories into the newly installed ICQ database directory. Run ICQ Database converter and your contact list will be transferred.
