more BIG RED Xs

I have big red Xs all over my movie maker project... a project I have been
working on for months (yikes).. and I have read other posts here but haven't
been able to figure it out. My footage and (up until very recently) my MM
files were stored on an external hard drive. For reasons beyond my
understanding the hard drive has changed from drive "J" to drive "K"...what
the?I didn't move the external hard drive. So it seems the MM projects
thinks the project is in drive "J". My hard drive is now in drive "K". I
have tried every USB port and they are all "K". When I browse for missing
file "files are not found" or the" file doesn't match the original closely
enough" . How do I move my footage to a "J" drive I can no longer find?
Help!

Might be worth a try to change the
drive letter back to what is was.
