Mwillems gave you good advice.

You can do it all at once, if you relocated your files on the new drive systematically.

Lookup the RMCF tool in the wiki.

If you preserved the same folder structure, just on the new drive and/or under a new base directory, then just use the find and replace option in RMCF to change the path as needed. Watch the preview.

You can act on every file in your library if you select them all before entering the RMCF tool.

I hope you realize now, it was not the restore that caused you the problem. It was Auto-Import being turned on with Fix Broken Links activated, and not seeing the files at the known path.

You would be well advised to turn the Fix Broken Links option to NO to prevent unfortunate incidents like this in the future.

Good luck.

Thank y'all for the help!

While I was testing a handful of files, Media Center seems to have relocated all the moved files and relinked them, even though auto-import was turned off. I'm assuming this is because it was simply looking within the directories previously already used in the database, and the files happened to have been moved to somewhere within one of those previously established directories. (I originally had D and H drives in the database. Then when I switched to the new computer, I kept the H drive, and moved the files from D to H).

Other than a few dozen files that didn't get updated, I think this time Media Center took care of almost all of it. This is a huge relief.

The vast feature-set of Media Center is a double-edged sword. On one hand, it allows you to do stuff that's impossible in most other competitor's software. On the other hand, the learning curve is incredibly deep and you could use it for decades and still not know most of the features. (I've been using it since the early Jukebox versions, so it's been many years).
