Video Hoster Not Reading My External HD

[charliebeck]

I started loading my CD+G discs on a 250 GB external drive on my home pc in my spare time. Had to re-format my HD due to some reg. problems I couldnt get working. Sweet MTU gave me another chance with reloading Hoster, but now I can't for some reason get Hoster to reconize my HD. I am going to buy the Full Hoster Prog. to use on my shows on a laptop. Hope I won't have problems getting it to read my external HD. Any Info would be nice.

why dont you tell everyone how you did it so they can learn.

sometimes smart people can forget even the easiest things.

I opened Hoster Light and clicked on tools. On the dropdown I clicked build song database. A window opened and I typed in the drive and the folder where my CD+G's were located and hit build song database and there you are. It worked for me.

I remember the time I had to use my backup computer
and remembered I had to build song database to get the backup lalptop working to the backup external HD, was at a show at the time doing as I had remembered just before showtime to do this. But, I rebuilt the database from the C drive in the backup laptop. Man, did I panic. Luckily, I had taken request slips just before showtime and every file kept coming up saying "cannot find song" or something like that. I thought I was ruined. Had these nightmares of running out to the Blazer, getting my diskplayer and disks and hooking it all up.
Called my g/f who was doing a DJ dance party across town, she said, "Didn't you once tell me to make sure that the default drive matches the actual drive holding the files". Then did it right.
That ever happen to anyone, all of a sudden, you have no songs in database and you think you deleted them all somehow?
