I moved my portal built with DNN 4 from one server to another.
I used the backup files for both the DNN folder and for the database.
Some pages show me the critical error: "device is not ready."
I noticed that pages that reported the error contain a link to files (for example repository modules).
On the source server DNN folder is on a hard disk D:/, while on the destination server DNN folder  is on C:/.
Could it be the cause of this error?
Is there a way to solve it?
Thank you for your reply.

You are going to have to find the references to drive D and manually change them to drive C.

You might want to start with the free F3 module from EngageSoftware.  It will do search and replace across your database.  But, be warned that it might not search all tables.

I would also look at settings for the Repository module.  There are three settings there that specify folders to be used, and they have a disk drive specified.

Thank you very much Joe.
I replaced all the wrong paths in the table ModuleSettings  of DNN database and now everything works regularly.
Thanks again.
Ciao!
