If I read your note correctly, I think you will have to rebuild the database so Hoster knows where the songs are located now.

Probably find your computer allocated the new drive with a different drive letter.
What was the drive letter when using your old drive ?

If you open the build database dialog, look at the file paths of your songs in the left hand pane, other than C: what other path is showing ?

You will need to change your new drive to match.
When you open windows explorer under this PC it should show your new drive if it shows different to previous you need to change it to match.

Try this link for instructions to change file path:

If your using windows 10 might find it easier by right click on start icon bottom left of windows and select Disk management from there.
Right click on the drive you want to change and select (Change drive letter & paths) the rest is pretty well self explanatory.
