Don't know if you've tried it yet or if it your effort was successful or not. But I went through this very thing just a couple of weeks ago, after having to replace a dying hard drive.
Moving the xampp folder around after it is installed creates complications as the default file-paths no longer apply. In my case, it was far easier to transfer all of my project folders & files OUT of the htdocs folder, and my database folder out of the mysql/data folder, to a safe location (in my case on my backup hard drive), then delete the whole xampp folder and do the new install where I wanted it located.
Following that, it was simply a matter of re-creating the database - by pasting the folder into the same location (mysql/data). Then I copied all of my 'safe' htdocs folders and files back into the new htdocs folder.
Everything worked like a charm.
