<div name="quoted-content">
<div>
<div>I am using 64-bit Windows 7 Pro and digiKam 5.6.0</div>
<div>Oh, sorry. I said Good bye to Windows 15 years ago and therefore I have no idea about how Windows establishes the link between a device and the mount point eg. drive letter. On Linux you can do this manually in a nice and easy way ...</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I went into Disk Management and put the old drive's letter on the new drive, but that did not fool digiKam; it just recognized the old drive with the new letter that I assigned to it.</div>
<div>Perhaps disconnecting the old hard disk and than starting digikam with the new disk at the old drive letter digikam tries to connect to the new one...</div>

Which system are you using? If it's Linux, you should disconnect the old<br/>
harddisk and use the same mountpoint for the new one. In case you used<br/>
the (semi-)automatic mount, which is provided by many graphical<br/>
interfaces like kde, it's more complicated.<br/>
