Is it possible to copy the EvE folder to another harddisk, disconnect the current systemdisk, install a brand new and the install a new copy of Windows 7 and then moving the EvE files back?

I really can't afford to download the entire client Again since that be like 500$ where I live, so it would be nice if I could just copy paste the stuff around

*edit* nvm i see you want to format completely, that would, i dont know really. You would have to redownload the launcher at least i assume. Wait let me try.


Yeah i copied out the SharedCache folder, uninstalled eve/the launcher, reinstalled the launcher, without starting it i put sharedcache folder back and it launched no problem without downloading anything. Cant guarantee it will work for you tho.
