[QUOTE="jrockford, post: 663930, member: 107399"] [b]MediaPortal Version[/b]: 1.10 [b]MediaPortal Skin[/b]: HDBlue [b]Windows Version[/b]: Vista I have several drives that cannot remain on all the time and share one hot swap. They are always seen as E: on vista. I have two questions - is it possible for me to setup the library, within MediaPortal, so it knows all that I have, even on drives that are no longer on? When I swap a new drive into E, will that erase the information previously in the library? I worry about this, because I intend on sitting down for several hours/days updating complete imdb info - don't want to lose over 2,000 entries ;) And finally, is it possible that if I have, say a Drive called "Pine" currently on, but the film I want to watch is on a drive called "Elm", - would it notify me what drive to swap in? Or would it panic because the selected film isn't in the desired path? Many thanks [/QUOTE]
