Yes, in retrospect installing vsti's to the internal drive is probably the best way to go. When I have both the 2010 (drive F:) and 2011 (drive G:) BIAB usb drives plugged in and I run RB from the 2011 drive G:, any loaded song seems to search for the 2010 drive F: and correctly "picks up" the proper vsti and vsti sound that correspond to each different song track and midi channel. This must mean then that each song stores data per track as to where (what drive) to go to for that specific vsti, as well as any custom configuration you may have done in the vsti to alter that particular sound? Does that sound right? If so, then I wonder if there is any way to "point" an individual song or RB itself at a different drive to pick this up.

If not, then I would suspect that even if you originally install the vsti's to an internal drive, you could potentially run into this same issue when you get a new computer - unless you were very careful to re-install the vsti's to the same internal drive "letter" you used on your previous computer (if you were using multiple partitions).
