Media Files are missing after upgrade

Post by Comsat72 » Sat Jan 14, 2012 4:43 am

After upgrading from LIve 6 to 8 (and moving everything to a new computer), the older songs are missing the sample drum hits etc from the Live 6 Pack.

Searching the new computer has not found them although I (thought) I migrated all data.

What is the best way to restore these? I still have the Live 6 installation disks.

No, it is on D drive now, and was on c drive on the old computer - but Ableton helpfully includes a search tool for just such an occasion. Trouble is, a search of the whole D drive does not turn up the samples .... hm, of course the program might be looking for a sample named C:\Users .... etc, but I think it is smart enough to look for a file with the words, Gretsch Snare Dry, or whatever in it.
