What's the exact issue? Did you add the content library folder to Daz? Are you seeing any errors ? If yes, what? If not, check the error log for a clue.

Not sure what you're asking @tblack86 But I will try to help anyway.

If the drive or the location of where you keep your Daz products has changed. You'll need to add that directory to Daz so it knows where to find your products.

Within Daz Studio, click Edit, then preferences, then click the content tab. Then click on the content directory manager button at the bottom.
Then click on Daz studio formats under content sets, then click add on the left side of the pane, and then browse to where your daz products are now located, and click select folder.

That will add the directory.

if a lot of your files still have triangle symbols with explanation marks on them. You can try reimporting the metadata or resetting your database. To do this click on the smart content tab (the three lines with the triangle at the top on the left hand pane, next to where it says login) And select Content DB maintenance. In there click the tick box and then select accept.

If you only have one drive bay there are hard drive to usb cables you can buy. it will allow you to plug a hard drive in via USB.
Which one you'll need will depend on the type of hard drive it is. They're relatively cheap.

If its an old laptop harddrive 2.5" then you'll need something like this:

if its an old desktop harddrive 3.5" you'll need something like this (This will also work with a laptop harddrive, just make sure not to use the additional power cable if you're connecting a laptop harddrive. The additional power cable is for desktop harddrives only.)

If you have a newer m.2 harddrive then you'll need something like this:

If you're not sure which harddrive you have. Just look at the pictures on the amazon links I've posted. And select the one that looks like yours. They all look different so its hard to get them mixed up. You'll want to plug the USB cable into a USB 3.0 port on your device. They're the blue ones. They run faster than USB 2.0. although the cable will work with either, USB 3.0 is a lot faster.

using interpunction makes reading comprehension a lot easier …

ducksick - it's still decipherable, but a sad and stupid way of writing.
