Interesting Problem - Missing Files .Veg

As a result of upgrading my computer and adding a new hard drive my drive letters have changed. Now vegas projects attempt to open files which no longer exist because they've been moved from one drive letter to another. When I am prompted to locate a missing file I tell it to look in drive letter E (which was formerly drive letter C). Instead of doing what it was intended to do, which is to change the location that the sony project references, It gives me an error message that the media file could not be located and tells me it looked in drive letter C. I didn't tell it to look in drive letter C. I told it to look in drive letter E.

A little background: I had to reinstall windows on a new hard drive, which is now called drive letter c. The old hard drive wouldn't boot up for some reason. As a result of the new XP installation and the new hard drive I had to reinstall sony vegas to get sony vegas to work.

There must be an easy solution to this rather than fixing all the references files by hand.

Are the files in the same folder on the E drive as they were on the C drive?

Ok. For some strange reason I got the missing file to appear, by installing quicktime on the new drive, now called drive c. It now references the old drive, now called drive E as I instructed it. I have no idea why this happened.

What kind of files are they? If they're quicktime files then this all makes perfect sense.
