iTunes Library / External hard drive conundrum

jezza574

Having recently purchased a Packard Bell external hard drive I decided to backup my MP3 player files so I could effectively listen to them via the PC without needing the player.

Having got them all on there I imported them to my iTunes music library and hey presto almost 30GB of music ready to go.

However after a couple of succesful 'sessions' I have now encountered a problem in that my PC is now recognising the external hard drive under a different drive letter to the one initially selected when doing the import to the library thus iTunes can't find any of the files without me re-directing each individual track to the correct filepath.

Is there any easy way I can force my PC to select a particular drive letter for the device to get this working again? I have one other USB device (printer) which is I'm guessing what caused the problem in the first place.

Any help much appreciated :beer:

woo

This is from memory as i'm booted into Linux at the moment.. but you need to go into Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management

In that tool select disk manager and you can change the drive letter you want by right clicking and selecting the new one

Spot on, that works a treat.

Very much appreciated:T
