[p4] How to move perforce depot from c: to d:

[Lee Marzke]

Vladimir,

Moving the depot on the same server is just a slightly simpler version 
of moving the depot
between machines.   See  
http://www.perforce.com/perforce/technotes/note010.html

On Windows if starting the server directly using 'p4d' just change the  
'-r' parameter
on the p4d command line.      See  
http://www.perforce.com/perforce/technotes/note001.html

If your starting Perforce as a service, then you'll have use the srvinst 
program to reset the
server root directory.  I'd delete the old service first using the 
normal Windows tools.

See http://www.perforce.com/perforce/technotes/note035.html

PS:  Most of this information is covered in the Administration guide at:
http://www.perforce.com/perforce/doc.052/manuals/p4sag/01_install.html#1049719

You really should read the entire Administrator Guide if your going to 
be administrating
a server.

Good luck.
