M4 problems after moving to external HD ----- FIXED

Hey guys and gals

I have a problem and I cant figure out the solution. I recently moved all of my DAZ content to an external hard drive without a problem, all of my content is there and i can use it.. except for Michael 4.

On my Smart Content panel it shows: "(2)Michael 4" and the icon is missing. When I load Michael 4 onto a scene the problems begin. First of all, somehow I lost 80% of Michael 4 content, Power Loader will only show the bare basics AND even then it can't find the files. It keeps telling me that the file is missing and it gives me the options to locate or skip, Poser files. BUT, somehow DAZ is trying to find the file on my C: drive, and my content is on my E: drive.

I tried uninstalling all Michael 4 items using DIM, re downloading the content from DAZ and re installing but is still broken.
I also refresh the database, deleted orphaned files, re import metadata... nothing seems to work.

I used to have Poser but to be honest, I hated it. So I uninstalled it.
I don't understand why DAZ keeps asking for Poser content when I pretty much did a clean install.
I think it has something to do with Power Loader itself...

I appreciate any help you can throw my way

BTW, as far as I know ALL of my other content and characters are working fine
I can load Victoria 4 without a glitch, too

Ok... somehow I just got it working.

It seems like I just needed to tell DAZ my Poser content was installed on the same directory as DAZ3D.

I had deleted "Poser" from the CMS when I got rid of Poser. Apparently not a good idea. I set Poser content to DAZ and that solved it.

Oh well, sorry for the post but it might help someone else.

Thanks anyway!
