Anybody got any idea why I can't get Apache to start on Vista 64 after amending the httpd.conf file?

Basically I just want to change the path where my pages and scripts are served from so I change the following lines in httpd.conf from and to the following......

Code:
DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files (x86)/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs"

to

DocumentRoot "Q:/Personal/Documents/k3rk/htdocs"

<Directory "C:/Program Files (x86)/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs">

to

<Directory "Q:/Personal/Documents/k3rk/htdocs">


...and...

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "C:/Program Files (x86)/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/cgi-bin/"

to

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "Q:/Personal/Documents/k3rk/cgi-bin/"


<Directory "C:/Program Files (x86)/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/cgi-bin">

to

<Directory "Q:/Personal/Documents/k3rk/cgi-bin">

When I save the file a restart Apache the following message is displayed.

"The requested operation has failed"

Any help in resloving this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
