Re-Loaded Hoster,not registering my kma songs on my external drive

[Musicmansofie]

After my computer crashed I had to purchase an upgrade to get back up and running, spent many hours trying to figure out how to tell Hoster where my 3,000 + songs are, they are sitting in my external drive. My program is on my C: drive , I have made all the necessary changes, everything is ready but when I entered one of my song #'s it couldn't find it How do I tell Hoster where to look? Need to reprint the manual as there seems to be many changes to the original one I got in 2006, I'm close to getting it back to up and running since everything crashed! Help please

if you just reloaded Hoster to a new comp. and it's not an upgrade , you need to rebuild your song database, go to tools. song database and click on your ext. drive drive, then click on rebuild

Thank you so much, this is actually what I have been doing but I kept getting 0 entries, then I realized I was listing the songbook folder instead of the folder with the kma files, did it right this time and it worked, I am so happy, it has been such a headache for me, now I am a happy camper, my son had called me from Afganistan late last week and I was telling him that my computer crashed and I lost everything, he was so bummed, we do enjoy our time together when home visiting doing Karaoke, waiting for his next call so I can tell him his middle aged mother fixed it!! Thank you all for helping me get thru this.
