Do I have to replace STALKER database files in the Programme Files directory with the new paritition's gamedata folder? Once again, thank you for your help and patience thus far.

No.

You should have an "appdata" folder somewhere on the gameroot (containing saves logs and screenshots)

"gamedata" needs to have the same heirarchical status as appdata - i.e. both should be directly on the gameroot.

Leave the original db files alone.

This is how things (should) now work:

Ordinarily, without "gamedata" present, the game unpacks db archives on the fly. If gamedata IS present, anything in it takes precedence over versions in the db files. This was how the notorious "Swamps cutscene oso bug" was worked around for early pre 1.3003 versions.

Just remember you're about to add about 50 Gb to your gameroot...
