The database is located by default under <My Documents>\DVD Profiler\Databases

The easiest way would be to movie your complete <My Documents> folder to the new drive. So when you have to reformat your system drive you won't lose any user data.

Close DVD Profiler and all other programs.

Right click on the My Documents folder in Windows Explorer and select Properties.
Switch to tab Location or Target.
Choose Move and select a target on your D: drive

Windows will now move this folder for you.

Now you have to take DVD Profiler and point it to the new location

Open DVDP. It will be empty.

Select File -> Open Database -> Browse -> <your new My Documents folder>\Databases\Default -> Collection.dat

Now select the database.

Select File -> Open Database

Delete the second (empty) database.
