Has anyone any words of advice for the next time I "clean up" my system. I recently switched hard drives, partitioned and formatted, but ended up putting my audio files on a different drive letter. I had backed up MJ library & then restored after rebuilding my system. Problem was, with a different drive letter assignment, I couldn't figure out how to have all of my categories etc. restored.  I seem to remember someone posting that v8.x allowed for this, but since I'm not a beta tester I passed on this option. Besides, the last time I tried one of the v8's, "buy" wasn't working (and I really just don't like vegetable juice anyway).

Anyway, I'm now about 1/3 of the way through my library, and I really don't want to go through this whole f%@#ing process again!

Any useable suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Could you copy all of the files back into their original location and then use MJ to move them back to where you want them now?

I've been faced with this a couple of times, and I just copied the database files to unix, and used Emacs to replace the drive letter (sed,awk,vi will also work).

Version 8 is really the only good answer.

File Properties->Tools->Find & Replace (Location: c:\ with f:\, etc.)
