changing the letter of the harddisk: do I need to hash again

Hello,

Because of this, because of that, my drive letter is different.
Before: F:
After: G:

Do I need to delete all the previously hashed entries and hash it all again, or there is a way to tell AniDB O'matic that those are the same files, just the drive letter is different?

You will need to rehash them, sorry aom.5 doesn't support moving around files.

If you wouldn't mind changing your drive letters back you can do so by going to:
Control Panel -> Administrative tools -> Computer management -> Disk management. If you right click a disk you have the option to change the drive letter.

The problem is, now the F: letter -_- is reserved for the SD / MMC. You know, it's the thing to read memory cards from your digital camera. I just bought one.

Well, that's horrendously crappy software you got if you can't even change the drive letter. As long as you have nothing in use on the device you should be able to change it's letter.

We're not talking about AOM: it's hardware. Well, forget it, I'm re-hashing already.

The hardware shouldn't influence drive letter selection, that's taken care by the driver if anything.
Although I suspect it's just windows being rude to you.
