Trouble with drives for loading existing projects

I just got my new souped up cpu complete with 8 cores, 32 gb ram, graphics card, etc. for handling HD video rendering.

My old cpu had my project saved under 2 drives - my C drive and my L drive.

My computer guru replaced the C drive for the new cpu and let the new cpu auto map the drives thereby switching the L drive to the H drive.

I attempted to load the project from the H drive and I got an error message citing missing files from the L drive.

Is there a way using the Cyberlink software to fix this or do I have to hard map the H drive back to the L drive.

My guru does not want to do this in case we need the drive letter in the future if we add anything.

The only way I can think of (and I am guessing) is to open the PDS project file in notepad and change any references of the L drive to H.
Not sure of the difficulty factor. HP Envy Phoenix/4thGen i7-4770(4@3.4GHz~turbo>3.9)
Nvidia GTX 960(4GB)/16GB DDR3/
Canon Vixia HV30/HF-M40/HF-M41/HF-G20/Olympus E-PL5.

You still have both your drives installed?

Then you can also just relabel the drive from H back to L

I am using Windows 8 but very similar procedure for Win. 7 (Do a search for Disk Management or Computer Management)

For Win 8
Right Click lower left screen corner
Click Disk Management (or Computer Management)

Now select your H drive
Right Click to bring up the "Change Drive Letter and Paths" option.
Click the "Change" tab at the bottom of window
Go ahead and select the letter L and click Ok

Thanks, Rob. That worked to eliminate the L drive error while attempting to open the project.

However, the wav files for the video and new waves I created and saved to the old C drive are creating a C drive error missing files when I attempt to open the project now.

Also I get the no internet on the system please enable an internet browser to activate avc 2.64.

There is also no internet to update the cyberlink program.

Cyberlink is not recoginizing my internet explorer browser or Mozilla Firefox.

My guess is to grab the cyberlink folder from my old C drive and place it on my new C drive to eliminate these issues?

My cyberlink was installed on my new system to the F drive 1 TB for the program and the G drive 1 TB for data i.e. projects.

For some reason cyberlink has locked onto the C and L drives on my existing project so I can't open the project with my new system.

Hi,

I always see people with issues who have tried to install the main PD prgm on drives other than the main C drive.
As a fix you can try what you suggest- copy the directory from old to new drive.

I have my main PD installed on C and then use my D as a save / project drive backed up later onto onto drives.
If you haven't already seen this tutorial about Packing and saving your projects have a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAOnn8g0C_o

The above tutorial will eliminate the missing files / clips / pictures etc. in the future. As long as you keep every thing in its own self tilted Packed Project Directory.

If the copy / paste C drive directory does not work for you then you might have to manually find each missing piece and point PD to them.

Thanks Rob for the timely response.

I'll give it a shot this afternoon when my guru gets here.
