How repair links between iPhoto and library at new EHD?

Hallo!

Excuse me for question but have I any chance to restore links between my iPhoto and library at EHD?

I'm switch to Referenced mode at the beginning of use iPhoto and now I have all my photo there. And two months ago I'm changed my EHD to another. And I lost all links. I try to restore it manually but it so hopeless. Is it any opportunity to automate this process? (The structure inside folders stay the same.)

Thanks in advance.

iPhoto '11, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

this is one (of many) reasons that a referenced library is strongly not recommend

If you have the latest version of iPhoto then you can use Aperture to restore the links

If you can use the previous hard drive and have iPhoto work you could use iPhoto Library Manager to rebuild as a referenced library which would eliminate this and many future problems
