If the previous take is a seperate track than you need to delete that
track from the project. If the old take is on the same track as the
new take then you need to right click on the event and delete the take
that references the deleted file. Resave the .veg file and that
should be the end of it. Vegas doesn't assume the file is deleted
just that it's moved. You have to remove the references to a file
from the .veg file to get it to stop looking for it. Which is a good
thing especially if you're attempting question 2.

It won't screw up the .veg file. What will happen is that you will
get the same error you got before about not being able to find your
files. No problem, just tell it where the first file it is asking for
is and it will automatically find the rest (provided that they are in
the same directory). If you're still a little paranoid just create a
junk vegas project with some random wav's. Move the project from one
HD to another and then reconstruct it before you try it with a real
project.

Hope this helps
