    I am a Dj at a club and I work with a few other guys. We are constantly switching drives out and I was wondering if there was a good way to clear all the exclamation points. Can I just delete the "collection" file and re add all the tracks to the database?
    What are the steps you do when plugging in a new updated and tweaked hard drive?

    What is that? How do I do that?
    Im sorry I have a gig tonight and im adding a new hard drive to the PC. All the files have been changed and moved around and im afraid its going to be a mess.
    What should I do once I plug in the new HD. Should I delete and files from the pc first? Should I add to collection?

    Thanks

    re: consistency check

    Dude,
    In Preferences > Collection Prefs > Show Consistency Check On Startup

    This will show you how many missing files you have and you will be able to either relocate them or delete them from the collection.
    Every time you play tunes from another drive the next time you start Traktor it will look for those files and if you have switched drives they wont be there.
    Hope that helps.

    EDIT: you altered ya post in the blink of an eye :)
