I am running Xpress Pro HD v 5.1.5 on an HP Microtower dx 7500, with XP Pro sp2 , 4 gigs of ram and a dual core 2.93 Intel processor.
I am trying to consolidate all my media from 5 external firewire drives on to one 2 tb firewire drive ( which currently contains back ups of all the OMFI files and AIFF files from all 5 drives) and have been experiencing problems when trying to relink all the media to the new 2tb drive. All the drives are 7200rpm.
I tried doing a test on a few single clips before selecting a whole bin and the drive name disappared and it wont relink. The error says 'No clips relinked'. Can anyone give me specific steps on how to do this correctly?

Gail,
I'm not quite sure what you're doing. If all media exists as a backup on your 2TB drive inside your OMFMediaFiles structure it should come up.
If you are archiving just your final sequences you can do this via consolidating these sequences to your 2TB drive with top and tails.
If you want everything across you could do this via media tool and consolidate all firewire drives to the new drive. You may lose renders.
Another way if you are talking all media, drag all contents of OMFIMediaFiles Folder ex Firewire drives minus media database mmob files to your 2TB drive (copy across for safety) Unmount firewire drives then rebuild your database on the 2TB, do this by deleting your mmob files and boot MC program this will rebuild the databases. If this works only then delete firewire media...Paul H
