Hi, I just restored the original drive name. It had been renamed in
the process of replacing a drive that was exhibiting problems and
threatening to fail. Computers are, by nature and design, and maybe
by necessity, remarkably literal (seems to me). What is interesting
to me is that, in spite of this "literal" characteristic, there are
also methods that are built in to applications (and maybe into the
operating system, I'm not sure where all of these things reside) that
will deal with situations when the machinery hits a wall and doesn't
find what it expects. I got a dialog that allowed for manual or
automatic searches for the "missing" samples, and they were found
every time. There were limitations in the design of the interface -
the dialog window didn't show enough of the path to allow me to see
where the samples were, or where they belonged - hence the question I
posted in the hope that someone else would know, but they were always
found automatically nonetheless. It turns out they were always in the
right place (inside the Garritan folders) where they had been
automatically located when they were first installed. They'd never
been moved, and only my renaming of the drive compromised the pathway
the computer used to look for them. A little frustrating - but I am
also intrigued by trying to acquire some intuition about how these
things are designed.

Duh! Took me a day to figure it out.
Did you fix that by renaming the drive, or did you do some process
to let Kontakt know that the drive was where it should look?
