First, it is not generally a good idea to copy a workspace to a new
location; workspaces contain absolute path references and other content
that makes them non-portable. It is always better to simply start by
letting Eclipse create a new one and then using export/import to move
your preferences and projects over from the old one.

to ask why, if you have that much code, aren't you using a version
control system like CVS? Even for a lone developer, it has great
benefits (one of which being that you can easily get the code into any
workspace on any computer at any time).
Hope this helps,
