I know this is a bit lame 2 say now but "U can never have enougth backups....!!
I use 2 partions on my HD (one 4 mailing/ work etc.. with 1 XP) another with another XP just 4 music (no probs with Xp so far... go 2 steinberg.net and find a page about tweeks 4 XP.. makes a hell of a lot of difference)... this is tha best way ... also constantly use my cd-rw and my external hd!!!
Try loading the fruity tracks and load 2 each instrument the samples at they're current location ... or do the oposite.. find out where they should b and the create that folder and copy de sample 2 there!!.. not fool proof but still beats have 2 seq. everything again!!
