I don't know, it doesn't make sense that it wouldn't show up. I guess since you are having such a hard time you can instead try the method described at the MM support website.

nohitter151 wrote:Okay, well what did you paste into scripts.ini?
Yes I pasted this into it at the bottom (also tried the middle of the file too so see if that would change anything):

[HDDSerial]
FileName=MM_HDDSerial.vbs
ProcName=Change_HDD_Serial
Order=99
DisplayName=Move Device Content
Description=Corrects broken links after exchanged harddrive
Language=VBScript
ScriptType=0

Also, for the vbs file, are you supposed to paste everything in there after selecting all (including the numbered steps)?

You're sure it isn't in the MM menu? It would be listed as "Move device content".

Are you sure you saved the scripts.ini file? Did you restart MM after making the changes? Really MM should be closed when editing that file.
Positive. I reopened it up and it's in the scripts.ini file. I'm pretty sure MM was closed when changing it. What can I do if it wasn't (although I'm pretty sure)?
thx again for the help with this and the lyric viewer :P

Thanks. Will this work going from say F:\mp3 (on xp) to C:\user\music (vista)
No. Neither solution will work for a situation like that. You should move it from F:\mp3 to C:\mp3. After you get your database all squared away using either of the above options, you can use auto-organize to move the tracks where you like them.
I didn't think so. Thanks for the tip!

Hello,
I would like to copy all my external USB HD to the local HD. I know how to do that, but how do I do it and still keep all my playlists working correctly?
thx!
