Back in the day when I had every course and lib there was and rather than using the course manager to individually install a few, I founf it far easier to backup and restore using these methods. You'll need 30GB of disk space if you had it all.

Backing up courses

1. All courses are kept in the default folder Courses in the PGA 2000 folder.
2. Enter the folder.
3. Hold CTRL and press A (select All files)
4. Right click and select copy
5. Navigate to your save folder and create a New Folder call it Courses.
6. Enter the new Courses folder right click and select paste (or use CTL and V)
7. wait until task is complete

Backup libraries is same just call the Folder Library

Restoring, install the game again and copy the courses and library files to their respective folders. Once they have been copied back to the reinstalled game folder, run the course editor as Administrator, go and get a coffee and a sandwich. Disregard any error messages and let it finish creating the registry entries, Its like Outlook like to hang and not respond.

Hope this helps folk with storage reinstall issues., I have all mine backed onto a 32GB USB 3 stick these days.
