I have 4 HDDs connected via USB in one external case that automatically gets picked up by XBMC. Each HDD has its content set and is scanned into the library. Problem is when I remove one of the hard drives from the case movies from other HDDs are missing when i try to play them in the library mode. I'm thinking the drive letters are getting reassigned when I remove one of the drives which is causing the library to think some movies are missing. Would I have to manually add each drive as a source for this not to happen anymore? Thanks!

Hard to believe nobody has an answer to this. Maybe the way I explained was unclear. Say I have 4 externals connected to the PC all with movies (call them hard drives 1 through 4). If for example, I remove hard drive #2, then obviously I know if I go to play a file thats on hard drive #2 then it will say "file not available". However, I am also getting "file not available" if I try to play files on a hard drive other than #2. I never had this issue bfeore.

Do the file paths change in the operating system (e.g., in the OS file manager) when you pull that one drive from your enclosure?

I figured it out. I had renamed 3 of the 4 hard drives with the same label so the OS was adding an underscore to each of the 3 drives.
