Lister/PC problems

    I have been having problems during the last week or so with my PC, eventually resulting in installing a new SSD. All my data has always been saved on a different HD from the operating system. OS and programmes being on drive C and data on drive D.

    All my lister data was backed up, using the listers back up facility, creating a .bak file.

    I have re-installed the lister and re-imported all the data without any problems (ca. 7000 listings).

    However, during the re-install of windows, my data drive has become E, instead of D.

    As a result the path to all my images is wrong. I've opened the .bak file in notepad and told it to replace D/data with E/data, which randomly worked in some cases, but not in others.

    All my listings are in subfolder containing between 25 and 30 items each, so an export and re-import is only possible for a very limited number of items at the time (which I have also tried out and that worked using notepad).

    Any suggestions, anyone?

    Yes...

    You can actually change your drive letters back to the way they used to be.

    It seems your CD / DVD drive has taken over the D:\ drive position.

    The easiest way is to go to settings -> control panel -> administrative -> computer management -> and then under storage go to disk management.

    Look over on the right part of the screen.

    Go to your CD drive, which is D:\, right click and then then select change drive letters... make it F:\ for now.

    Go to your data drive E:\, right click, change drive letters and make it D:\

    Go to your CD / DVD drive, do the same except make it E:\

    Close all open windows... go to My Computer and check the drive letters. They should be fine. C:\, D:\, E:\

    Windows changes drive letters when external drives are shifted around.

    I agree with Tracy, the best way to avoid further problems, not only with the Lister but also with other programs, is changing back the drive letters.
    I always assign a different letter to my CD / DVD drive (usually K: or M:) to avoid problems with different data partitions (D:, E:, F:).

    Thank you for the reply Tracy.

    I wished I'd asked the question earlier. By the time I asked I had already recreated paths for all my programmes and made a full system back-up with the new drive letters.

    I'm between a rock and a hard place now - either spend a lot of time on the lister or spend a lot of time on the rest of the system.

    You can always post a question to me here. You've always been nice to me and what comes around, goes around.

    I don't like it when unnecessary work needs to get done or one gets bilked by shammy computer "experts". I've been doing this for 25 years and I could have had your issue fixed in 10 minutes, tops - as you noticed. (Not to demean your efforts...)

    Those nasty wasty images are always a pain. I keep them ALL, associated with each lot. That way, if one goes astray here (and I have seen it) I can go fetch the exact image in under a minute because of my personal internal number.

    Doesn't work in batch mode, however...

    Give a holler if you need more help.:help:

    A Lister query.

    I just checked that one of the item (Item No. 204629403 ), I have uploaded through Lister on 30th Dec 2012. It appears today in my store ongoing sales.
    Apart from this I have also checked many items I have uploaded around same period appeared tooooo late.

    Any wildest guess?
