Software Will Not Read Files

This has never been reported before to my knowledge. You're doing a great job working with all of us to help diagnose what is causing this.

If I can only reference a connected drive, and if it takes an hour to build the database, then what's the use of having a spare drive? If one drive craps out for any reason in the middle of a show and I then have to connect the spare and go through the process of waiting an hour for the database to rebuild, I've lost the show. (and the money which, like all of us, is the main reason I do this)

Here's a new problem that just arose. Before going to my show last night, I rebuilt the database. Now it's reading the F drive perfectly. I then open my dj software and have it read in my regular songs,that are also on the F drive. After doing that, Hoster then stops reading the F drive and attempts to default to the g drive, which is not connected. Now I have to disconnect everything, turn off and restart the computer, and then rebuild the Hoster songs database yet again, and not dare to try and read in my regular songs to my dj software. What could that be? Will I have to run two separate external hard drives all the time? I wouldn't think that would be necessary but is it?
