Ever since the .svn folder was moved to the top level only, I've run into this issue a couple times. If you have a subfolder you've copied elsewhere, you can reconnect it to the repository by doing a checkout on it.

It won't overwrite any changes that might exist.

I think this is an issue caused due to the difference in SVN versions across the machines.I recently moved over my projects to a newer 64-Bit machine, installed SVN and the projects were not linked to the repository.

If you have the .svn folder then

Right click in open window and you should see an option "SVN Upgrade working copy".
Click that option and a pop up with Upgrade as an option will appear.
Click Ok and that should link the project to the repository.

EDIT: Since Stack Overflow discourages posting links I am uploading the screenshots below.

You're using Tortiose SVN, so right click the working copy and under tortoise SVN menu you should see a relocate option (just after export) This lets you set the path to the repository. If you've moved a working copy to a machine with a drive mapped differently or that requires a different path to the repository this is where you set it.

Also (lets try the obvious!) does the new machine have Tortoise SVN installed?
