EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Using LPM 4.8.2 I seem to have lost the connection between the 
exs24 instruments and the samples. Is there any way to fix this 
globally? So far it seems the only way to fix it is to choose each 
and every zone and manually rechoose the audio files. Here is 
what happened:

I have installed an external firewire drive and copied all of my 
samples to that drive. After the fact, I discoverred that the EXS24 
software didn't want me to do that, it wanted me to open every 
exs instrument and chose MOVE AUDIOFILES from the 
INSTRUMENT menu. I assumed that the software would operate 
the way the AUDIO WINDOW in Logic works: if it doesn't find a 
file, it comes up with a dialogue box saying it found the file 
somewhere and do I want to choose that file. However, in 
EXS24, there does not seem to be such a utility to simply ask the 
software to search all attached drives for the audio files you 
need. I have tried copying aliases of the folders I need to the 
place where the files used to work, but that has not worked for 
me.

So I reinstalled the Factory presets, figuring that they would be 
put in the right place by the installer. And my plan was that once I 
had confirmed that they were working properly, I would delete the 
files I had copied over to the external drive way back in part 1. Ha! 
I chose the external drive during the install procedure, but it does 
not matter which exs24 factory instrument I choose, it cannot 
locate the correct files and always reports the audio file 
connected to zone #1 as 'not found.' I have spent five hours trying 
to figure this one out now, and I am stumped. HELP!!!
