[QUOTE="fforde, post: 808035, member: 52082"] I think this should work: [LIST=1] [*]Restore your database backup. [*]Disconnect your old removable drive from the computer. [*]Start Moving Pictures, no movies should be removed from your database. [*]Add the new drive to your import paths. [*]Existing movies should be switched over. [*]Next time add the new import path before moving files. [/LIST] EDIT: To be clear, Moving Pictures will always try to migrate movies, but this is done when the plugin launches. So you opened the plugin, it saw all these movies were missing and it couldn't find them moved elsewhere so it removed them from the database. [b]Then[/b] you added the new import path and it started readding them. [/QUOTE]
