I had to get a new hard drive because of a virus. I have BB real tracks backed up on a passport. I used to drag whatever real track I wanted from the passport to "real tracks" on the old drive with no problem. With the new drive, I successfully dragged all the real drums over, but the real tracks don't work. They show up on the new drive as "N/A" or not available

Hi eikihss,
I'm not quite sure that I understand your post. The heading suggests that you can't get the Realtracks to copy from the passport to your new drive. The body of your post, though, suggests that you might have managed to copy them to a folder but that they are not registering with BIAB or RB.
If the latter case applies, try Opt >> Preferences >> Realtracks (in BIAB) and double-check that the path to the Realtracks is correct. It might be necessary to check "Use a custom folder location for Realtracks" and then navigate to the Realtrack folder and then click "Update". To set the paths for Realtracks in RB, click on "Prefs" and then choose "7-Song Generation".
If copying is the problem, the old approach of highlighting the files to be copied, press "cntrl-c", go to target directory and then press "cntrl-v" might work.
Lastly, it is possible that User Account Control (UAC) is not making the copy process easy if you have Vista of Windows 7. You could try disabling this via Control Panel. (Note: from comments made on the forums, it is better to install the bb directory straight off the root directory and not put it under "Program Files" if you are running Vista/Win7.)
Regards,
Noel

Hello, I think the issue is that you're just copying your RealTracks over, instead of installing them. When you install a RealTracks set, some files go in the RealTracks folder, and some files (.st2 and .xt2) go in the Band-in-a-Box folder. If you just copy your RealTracks folder, Band-in-a-Box and RealBand will not see them. Do you still have your original discs? If so, using them to install these RealTracks will solve your problem. If not, please contact us at sales@pgmusic.com and we can help you out with some new installers. Thanks Kent PG Music

Will try tonight. It definitely is an installation problem. I did just copy the files onto the new drive. I'll keep you posted. Thanks Kent

Thanks Kent,
You nailed it. I needed to find all the st2 and xt2 files and copy them into the BB folder on my C drive. Everythings works fine now. I'm a happy camper. Thanks again.
