Problems trying to reconnect files in PE10 organizer


i have pe10 on windows 7 computer.  have library of 11,000 images.  somehow last weekend, catalog converted drive letter on paths of image files wrong letter.  otherwise, paths , filenames fine.

 

so i'm trying reconnect files.  being cautious, starting selecting few files , doing file-->reconnect-->missing file.  however, doesn't work.  i've done 10-15 groups @ point. starts laborious search thru directory files.  25-30% of time, pe10 fails.  pop-up error dialog says "elements 10 organizer has stopped working." 1 button says "close program".  when doesn't fail, goes end of search (i presume), , pops window manually search file.  fails find right file(s), in manual window can find right file , reconnects right away.

 

i reluctant try file-->reconnect-->all missing files.  reason: on third group did above, got cocky , tried 1000 files @ once.  first time bombed, , trashed assigned dates on of files.

 

so nightmare.  manually reconnect, have 11,000 files in 100's of folders - take long time.  how can reconnect work properly?

 

i don't have backup recent enough restore.

 

thank you,

bill

can tell little more drive letter ? photos stored : internal or external media ?

i suppose looking @ path , drive in 'properties' panel of organizer , compare them path/drive in windows explorer ?
