Lost all media tags

Had over a 1,000 media clips that I had tagged. I moved some hard drives around, and now the media manager defaults back to the musical instruments and camera views.

Can someone explain how I get the tags back and what may be causing this? Did swapping drives confuse Vegas (I have 5 drives-moved just one of them to another machine)

Yup, swapping the drives makes Vegas think they are new files. After you tag your media you need to save the tags with the media. That’s what the little diskette icons does (Save Tags and Properties to the Selected Files). Select all your media files in the media manager and press that icon. Then you can move your media anywhere you want (event to another computer). When you re-import it, Vegas will load the tags from the media.

So I have lost them and am unable to "refind" these?

I thought I may have done that step. That I am not finding my tags tell me I did not, or is there a step I need to do to refind the tags??

Maybe you could rename / change the drive letter for the swapped hard drive back to what it was when you tagged the clips?
