Hello,
A crash of the harddisk where I keep my music files created big trouble, apparently. Steps to get things back are not completely successful. And I absolutely have no clue how to continue. I hope you can be patient enough to read my step-by-step description and be of any help.
For a good understanding first this:
• My library contains around 127.000 tracks
• The .mbl file is stored on my internal D drive, not affected.
• The music files are stored on my X drive - was completely unaccessable after the crash
• A backup of ALL music files had been made on my Z drive - the files are identical because I backed them up just before the crash of X.
This is what I did after I detected the crash:
1. I used chckdsk /f x: to repair drive X. Errors were found and successfully repaired.
2. I restarted MusicBee with the default .mbl library. The 127.000 track names were found - but all had an ! in front of them: the music files on drive X were not found at all.
3. I rescanned drive X for all folders containing the usual music files.
4. MB rescanned all and found around 121.000 files - so 6.000 seemed to be missing. I randomly searched for some volumes/cd's but could not come across any missing track. Not clear which 6000 were missing.
5. I copied the MB.mbl file with 121.000 tracks and renamed that copy to MB121000.mbl.
6. I used my sync software syncbackfree to sync all the music on my backup-Z drive to my repaired-X drive. Syncback reported that just 3 files could not be copied.
7. After this syncing the repaired X-drive still missed 6000 files, but after I did a rescan of the library, it SEEMED to find all or most of them.
8. But the scann error log said there were MANY MANY MANY errors found - and these files can NOT be found in the updated .mbl library. But when I search them manually they DO exist on the repaired-X drive and they CAN be played.
9. So the question is: what is wrong with all these files?
10. Is seems that all of them have an error message with one of the two following formats - which I both absolutely do not understand at all:

The good news seems to be that, thanks to my autobackup last night I still have ALL my music files safely copied on my Z-drive.
But the burning question is: how do I get them back on my repaired-X drive in such a way that MB can read/scan/play them.
Sorry for being detailed. I tried to give you insight in what I did - which already was a lot...
Now my skills end. Anyone else?
Thanks!
