Title: Library on External Hard Drive Problem
Post by: kaplapd on September 11, 2008, 05:41:06 am
I use two libraries - an MP3 library stored on my C drive and a FLAC library stored on an external hard drive.  At one time the external hard drive was assigned as the G drive by Windows but now it is assigned as the L drive.  My problem is that when I load the FLAC library, Media Center thinks that the files are stored on the G drive, not the L drive so it says it cannot find the music files, that the path is incorrect.  I know it thinks the G drive is the one because when I put my mouse over a song the drive is shown as G.  Does anyone know how I can tell Media Center that the correct drive is L rather than G? 

Thanks.

when you rightclick on a file, choose library tools>find and replace
make sure you only check the file name. and replace G:\ by L:\

make first a back up. and try one file first. make sure you only do the files involved, make a smartlist or something like that with filename starts with G:\

and turn of your external drive. so it will not think it has to copy something.. just to be sure...
