I recently upgraded my computer with new hard drives and reinstalled windows 10. After i reinstalled Reason to its new location I transferred all my old songs, patches and samples to the new location. As expected, when i load some of my old patches, a window pops up telling me the samples that are referenced to in the patch are missing. so i click find sounds and wait, it finds the sounds and loads the patch.

But I have a LOT of patches I have made myself , I've been using reason since version 2, and it would literally take me an entire day to fix all my patches this way.

So, I was wondering if there was a way to fix all of the patches at once, for instance select all patches and find missing sounds so that , even if it takes a really long time, i can set it and let the computer work while i leave and do other stuff, and when i come back all the sample references are fixed. One at a time means i cant leave the computer, i have to select a new patch to fix after the last on is done, which is the only way I have found to do it so far.

Is there a way I don't know about?

Can you remember your old location directory structure?

If so you could recreate that, if the sounds are now on a different drive letter you can create a MKLINK to the new location...
