Need help with content on new hard drive

jaebea

I am sure this is a common problem.  I just fired up my new build after the old one crashed last summer.  I transferred the all my content to the new hard drive and, of course, when I open a file Daz goes looking for content.  Trouble is, it doesn't ask me to look for all of it.  I was hoping I could just open the duf file in notepad and change the hard drive letter to help it find what it needed but when I did it, I couldn't make heads or tails of the language.  Can someone please guide me to the best solution?  I have a huge animation project I was working on and, at this point, I won't be able to open the files.  Thank you to those who can help!!

I may not be the best person to help you but ...

Daz go to edit preferences (or click F2). Select content tab. At bottom select content direct manager. Expand (click+) on Daz Studio Formats and browse to new hard drive location. Do the same for +Poser Formats

Thank you ArtAngel.  I actually did that after I tried to render the file.  I copied that file over the one I was struggling with last night and all the morphs and textures added right in.  I will remember that I have to add my data bases before I try to bring in any files.  I have 3: Poser 4, Poser 7 and Daz (20 years worth of content).  I appreciate your help!!!
