That will only work if you are using the same hard drive to run Hoster and it has the same drive volume letter when plugged in to each computer.
The other problem with that is unless your index folders list is complete you will have this problem every time you rebuild.

It seems you ask questions but don't properly answer them

1. Did you have the hard drive attached when you first rebuilt the database ?

2. Have you checked the list of folders are all present in the Indexed folders list that is accessed from the Tools/Songs Database/Build Database dialog ?
I attach a sample screen shot of what you should see, as yours are on an external drive your drive letter will not be C:\ as in the screen shot but whatever your external drive is.
If your list is not showing the files you want then use the Add Folders button to brows to the folder, open the folders so you can see all the files there then select.

When you build the database it builds it from the files in this list, if the files are on an external drive then it must be attached throughout this process.

3. Are you having problems getting the folders in the list ?
