Getting MM to find library on external drive with TrueCrypt

Post by Waghead »

There's probably a simple answer to this, but I searched the forums for "TrueCrypt" and wasn't able to find (or recognize, at least) what I need, so I may be the simple one. Anyhow:

I have a large library (600+GB) on a 1TB external drive, which I have encrypted with TrueCrypt. I was hoping MM would recognize it as the same drive, but maybe that's not possible, since I encrypted the entire drive? At any rate, I want to get MM to recognize the drive as before. It used to have the drive letter E: but now (via TrueCrypt) I'll always be assigning it the drive letter M: . . .

Many thanks for any help.

(Of course, I'm wanting to do with while preserving my track ratings & so forth...)

Hi,

Assuming MM can see the disk then you'll probably just need to change the serial number in the database.
