If there is enough place on another drive, simply copy /driveN/fids/* to /driveM/fids and erase /drive0/var/database (I don't whether there is /drive1/var/database) to force database to be rebuilt.

Even better, grab the oportunity and back your player up by copying everything from /drive[01]/fids on one of those cheap 80-100GB IDE drives using either ftp or one of several backup utilities developed recently (see FAQ and search a bit around the boerd). When you install the new disk, simply restore everything.

BTW, it might be possible to back up EQ settings etc by copying contents of /dev/hda3 using dd. I have not tried that (but Roger says all dynamic data is there).
