OS / HDD crash: How to get my settings back?Follow

So yesterday, I guess the heat finally got to my computer or something, as 100+ will do, and my archaic hard drive I was hosting W7 on decided to **** on me. Installed a fresh install of W7 to an alternate hard drive, and booted up everything, got everything installed, and went to play WoW.
Well, WoW was used to being on the D:\ drive, and now it's on the E:\ drive. For some reason, this is causing my settings to reset, and my character profiles to become confused, such as forgetting every single addon setting.
Is there an easy fix to this?

Yeah, because Mac's don't use the exact same hardware components, especially hard drives.

I agree, Mac is a joke. Or a ****. Either one works. Or it doesn't. Hah!

I feel bad for ruining a thread with an answer that is relevant to the main post, but the IT that is in me feels compelled to yell a solution.
And the solution is... Rename your E: drive to D: drive?
right click computer, click manage, disk management, have fun with the drives.

I am pretty sure it has nothing to do with the issue (I play wow on a usb key and move it from pc to pc, and the letter is not the same), but if you're confident this is the issue, you can try.

I meant C:/ rather than D:/ for WoW's directory. Somehow I previously had it set up where the boot drive was D:/ and my 'storage' drive was C:/. That is no longer the case. I figured I'd just bite the bullet and reconfigure everything, I suppose my wow Directory was damaged, had to repair it anyway.
