Apr 25, 2011 1:55 PM in response to turingtest2by ImagoX,SUCCESS! My iPhone is synced with my new laptop, and it's authorized to make use of purchased files (podcasts, mainly).
For now, my media file is still set to F:\MP3 - I'll leave that as-is, since I'm pretty sure I won't need to consolidate it. Worst case, I may need to restore the files somehow in the event of a HDD failure or something, but if that ever happened, I'd just rename the new HDD as "F:\" to re-sync everything.
My only real concern is that now I'm operating form the library database that exists on F:\iTunes as opposed to a library file which exists on the main C:\ drive.. no big deal as my external drive is a Fantom Green drive that's powered up 24/7. I have a second drive just like it (assigned to G:\) that I use as a secondary backup for all my music and digital image files in the event I ever lose that external HDD - I just run regular 1:1 backups of all files from every sub-directory and will rename THAT drive to "F:\" if I ever experience a drive failure.
Thanks once more for all your assistance - it really was a huge help. Hopefully the next person that tries this will find this thread useful.
