rebuild your database and point it to the external hard drive

Change Drive Letter
 
You can change the drive letter instead of rebuilding the song database every time you move from the PC to the laptop. It is easy... Here are the instructions:

Right click on "My Computer"

Select "Manage"

In the window shown select "Disk Management"

Right click on the removable drive and select "Change Drive letter and Paths..."

In the window that pops up select the drive and click on "Change"

In the window that pops up leave the "Assign the following drive letter:" check and use the scroll window to the right to select the drive letter you wish this external drive to have. If the drive letter you want does not show up then it is already in use with another drive.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for helping my stress
 
Hi All
I have to say the back up feature with this product and all the expertise of the users is excellent. I had the drive letter problem and I can assure you I would never have managed it without your help..
Many Thanks
BIGBEN:)
