I'm in the process of restoring my library on a Windows 7/64 bit machine. I started by restoring from a previous good backup, and then commenced adding files from an external drive by dragging and dropping from Windows Explorer. At a certain point, I found that the paths for items in the backup had disappeared, although the paths in the newly imported files were there. Clicking on them resulted in 'file not found.'
Thinking it was a function of dragging and dropping, I then backed up using the import function in MC, with the same result. (I find the native import tool slower than dragging/dropping.) I finally tried right-clicking on the files I wanted to import, and then selecting Media Center>Import, same result. I've rebooted my machine several times to make sure it wasn't a temporary anomaly but nothing changed.
Has anyone else experienced this? I found a thread back in 2008 reporting the same issue, but it was apparently never resolved there. All suggestions will be appreciated.
