Hmmm... I'm sorry but I'm still confused. Correct me If I'm wrong but it sounds like you are building 1 drive and then deleting it and adding the next drive, and building it.
If both drives (KMA locations) are accurately listed on the screen you should not delete anything. Just click "build database"

then progress bar starts and it shows the # of songs updated, the total # of songs updated is accurate , (total # of songs on both g & h drive.plus the # of duplicate songs ) ..do i have to delete both drives before rebuilding the database or just select 1 and leave the other.. thanks for your continous help..

If both drives (any and all KMA locations) are showing in the rebuild screen and the # of records is accurate (which is just a way of determining if all the locations are correctly listed) - when the build is done all of your songs should be in the database.
If by "select" you mean highlight one drive (KMA location) or the other, it's not necessary. Hoster will build the database from both drives in the same order they are listed on the screen regardless of whether either of them are highlighted or not.
It also sounds like you are expecting the database to reside on the individual drives? Microstudio works this way but Hoster does not. Hoster creates a single database of all the KMA locations and places it at C:/Program files/Micro Technology Unlimited/Hoster/Databases/Songs.mdb. Any other Hoster computer will have to have it's own database built.
If my confusion is way out in left field feel free to ignore.
