\[solved\] PLEASE Help! \* Wallet restore

Any help would be hot :-[
The original computer I was using that had all my FTC on it broke down and I am trying to access it again by using its HD externally with another computer. When I run the Feathercoin client, the addy is different than the other two and the balance is zero FTC. I was able to check my original addys (2) and confirm via the block explorer that the ~2.5 k FTC is still all there. Do you know what I can do to get access to that FTC? Any suggestions or at least is anyone able to direct me to someone or somewhere I get get some assistance in this matter?
Thanks Everyone!

All you need to do is copy the wallet.dat file from your old HDD to your new hdd.
Assuming you run windows the file can be found in %appdata%/feathercoin/wallet.dat

The ‘wallet.dat’ file is located in:
(Windows XP) "C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application data\
(Windows 7/8) “C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Feathercoin”
If you don’t see an “AppData” or “Application data†folder do the following:(Windows XP) Open explorer -> go to Tools -> Folder options -> View -> select ‘show hidden files and folders’ -> apply.
(Windows 7/8) Open explorer -> go to Organize -> Folder options -> View -> select ‘show hidden files and folders’ -> apply. Now you will see the folder!
Just copy the file from your old to your new client location!
