My hard drive in my laptop is full so I moved my kma files to an external hard drive 130 gb. Now Hoster does not know where to find the files. How do I get Hoster to recognize the larger drive?

you need to rebuild the song database. the instructions are in the manual

Or as an alternative to Beavis' suggestion, assuming you have Microsoft Access loaded on your PC, you can open the SONGS.MDB file located at:

C:\Program Files\Micro Technology Unlimited\Hoster\Database

I'm at work so I don't have the SONGS.MDB database to look at right now, but I believe the file location is the second to last column on the right. If you were storing the Hoster files on your C: drive, then it should start with C:\Directory\FileName, where directory is the name of the directory you stored the Hoster files in, and FileName is the name of the hoster file stored on your PC.

Simply do a find and replace for C:\ to D:\, or whatever the Drive Letter you copied your hoster files to. Hoster will then find the songs in the new external drive you attached.
