Question need to get shuttle to recognize and operate on external hd.

HERE IS MY PROBLEM: We purchased an MTU laptop in Feb 2003, to use as primary computer for karaoke shows. We then purchased an MTU Shuttle as a back up to the Laptop in the event the laptop failed. When we originally loaded our CDG discs, we loaded them into an external 80 gig hd, (not the 40 gig hd in the laptop) We then loaded the cdg's from that external hd into the Shuttle 80 gig hd's.(both computers hd's were kept identical) THEN, a problem, we have been out of space for some time, so we bought 300 gig hard drive and simply copied the cdg's from the 80 gig external onto the new 300 gig ext. hd. Been using it that way for quite some time with the laptop. BUT now,...our laptop has just basically disintegrated, and we must switch and use our MTU Shuttle as our primary operating computer. Problem we now have is...the Shuttle only has 80 gigs (remember it has the mirrored 2 hard drives in it) and we need to be able to switch and use our 300 gig hard drive (same one that we used with our laptop) I have tried but have failed so far. I rebuilt database, but it didn't work. Please, I need detailed information as to what I need to do. Thanks Ken and Pat...Texas
