I had installed WAMP server on my C: drive and had several databases created in the embedded mysql instance of it. Later I installed another WAMP server instance on my D: drive. Now I can run the wamp server instance in my D: drive and I can run the other WAMP server instance on my C: drive also (1 instance at a time) but the problem is even though I run the WAMP instance in my C: drive it dosen't show my old Databases and old Aliases dosen't work!
Now I want to switch back to my old WAMP server instance in C: drive. How could I fix it?

If you want to run both XAMPP and WAMP together on the same machine but access only one of the servers at a time then you could go ahead installing both of them one after another.
If you ask us, we would say WAMP is an ideal choice if you are only using Windows OS and PHP programming language. If you are a beginner, then WAMP is the ideal choice. However, when it comes to experienced programmers, XAMPP is the ideal server. Here they get to add additional features.
You can install WAMPServer onto any disk drive ( C:, D:, etc ). Don't install it into Program Files, it will install there, but it adds unnecessary directory complexity and can cause problems as there is a space in that directory name.
XAMPP is more powerful and resource taking than WAMP. WAMP provides support for MySQL and PHP. XAMPP also has SSL feature while WAMP doesnt. If your applications need to deal with native web apps only, Go for WAMP.
Although I have not tested it but you need to change ports of apache and mysql server.
