You need to go to where the shortcut was referencing, not the shortcut itself to get the music.

That shorcut would be invalid because you changed the path.

Are you trying to copy the shortcuts to the albums or are you trying to copy the albums?

I am trying to copy the old shortcut to the new desktop but it says that message
I don't know where the albums are apart from the place I mentioned

EDIT: The shortcut is referencing to F:, however I cannot find an F

Just realised, F is his other hard drive, he has two. However, why isn't it showing in win7?

Look at the shorcut properties.

Then just make a new one on the current desktop pointing to where you would have to go.

I know, but it's going to F which doesn't show in win7


SOLVED: F didnt have a name
