I tried to combine all of the media locations in customize 6.2 and ended up with more media files missing, I am now up to 1899. What am I doing wrong now? Can you give me a detailed step by step to accomplish my task. I am beginning to feel very stupid on this. Legacy has always been very user friendly and I have recommended it to lots of people because of that feature. Now I am stumped, read the chapter in the book and looked at the help section, still at a loss. I also think I now screwed up by combining all of the media files.

My drive with the media in it is attached, but it doesn't seem to have found it. Could it be because it was associated only with Legacy 7.5 and I used sub folders.
