Relinking to a new external hard drive with different drive name

Hi there, 

I'm hoping that someone may be able to help me here. Recently I had an external hard drive give up on me and I needed to tranfer all of the files to a new external drive. In the past I have just gone for a basic WD passport for Mac and then replaced it several times with a new WD passport for Mac, then renamed it to the same name. This time I decided I would get a better faster Sandisk SSD drive. I have transfered all of the files across (which has taken days with the old hard dirve on it's way out).

The problem I have now is that I tried to give the new drive the same and it is not letting me as it is saying the name has too many characters. So my issue here is that I have so many large documents with over 500 links to the old drive... so none of them are linked, Is there a way to get the files to relink in bulk to the new hard drive (with a different drive name), being organised these files are all in different folders within the exteral hard drive so I can't just relink folders as this would be just as time consuming.

All I would like to do is change all of the extentions to from DWS EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE (the old drive) to DWS HD (the new drive)... Example of link path below:

OLD:

/Volumes/DWS External Hard Drive/DWS Documents 14.01.16/1.LIBRARY/*Wineries DOMESTIC/Meerea Park/Bottle Shots/Black/2011 BLACK - FS.png

TO THIS NEW ONE

/Volumes/DWS HD/DWS Documents 14.01.16/1.LIBRARY/*Wineries DOMESTIC/Meerea Park/Bottle Shots/Black/2011 BLACK - FS.png

The are about a hundred different folders of images all within the drive that need to relink.

Help!
