Hello,

I reinstalled my computer with Windows XP. On the previous installation I
had more than 50 collections from DV tapes I have on my computer. When I
have to do this again I costs me about 60 hours and also the collections are
not sorted the way I want!

I have a copy of my old C: drive, is that enough to recover the old
collections!

thnx,

Marco J.L.
 
on your old c:-drive must be a file called mediatab1.dat (or, alternatively,
mediatab0.dat) ... search for it ... this file contains your moviemaker
collections. you have to copy this to your new drive, replacing the same file
(make a copy of it first - in case s.th. goes wrong). If you have made new
collections in the meantime they will be lost - unfortunately it is not
possible to import single collections only and append them to any existing.
so it's either import the whole set of old collections and replace the new or
leave the old ones out altogether. this is a problem MS needs to solve - it's
a clear disadvantage of MM - nobody understands why - it can't be difficult
to program. hope you now know what to do.
