I have a dual boot Windows system, with three hard drives, one is my Windows XP install drive, one is the newly released Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit, and the third has all of my data files.
After I installed Win 7 and downloaded iTunes, I was able to install iTunes and it opens properly (unlike some folks that are having issues with the 64-bit version). The problem is that iTunes does not recognize my iTunes library. I've switched back to the XP installation and verified the path and that the library works. But when I go back into Win 7 and put in the path, nothing.
The only thing I can think of is that because of the way the dual boot system works, when I am in XP, the computer recognized my XP disk at the C:\, my Data Drive as the D:\ and the now Win 7 drive as the F:\. When in Windows 7, the Win 7 drive is mapped as the C:\, the XP Drive is the E:\ and the Data Drive is the Z:\. Could the xml file that stores the library information use absolute references as opposed to relative references? But this does not make sense. If I lost my OS but had a copy of the library, shouldn't I be able to copy the library back onto the hard drive and then simply point iTunes to it?
I burned several hours trying to solve this. Anyone with any thoughts?
