Another hard drive crash causing problems

I´ve had another external harddrive crash. But, I made back up copies of all my projects from this "workinghard drive" to 2-3 different external hard drives. When I open a PP project from one of this harddrives the program takes som time to find links to clips, photos and so on (becasue the harddrives are named different and the clips have the name of the workinghard drive in themselves, I suppose). I have to locate some clips manually, not the funniest job to do but it has to be done. So far so good.

But when I open a project in PP the program cant find a lot of clips that I have put on the timeline even though I know they are stored on the same hard dive. What should I do?

I think you should rebuild the project like it was. So, put together another directory / folder(s) with all the files in it. Whenever you open an AutoSave project, it is recommended to first move it to the folder where your original file was, that way the links/relative paths, etc stay the same. Can you recreate at least for the most part the directory structure / file names etc as you had before?
