Problem Moving Up to IIS6

We have been using IIS5 for years and are familiar with its operation.

We had to build a new server for internal use however and it has Win2003 and
IIS6 installed.

We copied our old site to the new server, changed the home directory on the
default website in IIS to where we copied our files and it does not work.
We are getting a page not found error. When the default directory is set to
C:\Inetpub\Wwwroot everything works fine.

We are researching this problem and educating ourselves on this new system,
but was wondering if anyone could jumpstart us. Something we did during
set-up?

Thanks in advance...
