 Restoring from a back-up drive - any tips? - Iffy
Update.

Managed to reload the library so all is well.

It went like this:

I downloaded a fresh copy of iTunes.

Plugged in my usb drive which had on it a routine back-up done last week.

The Windows back-up and restore centre has an option to restore folders.

One of these folders was 'iTunes media', so I restored that one.

The iTunes program has an option to 'add folder' to its library.

So I told it to add the iTunes media folder to its library, which it did.

Good result, and easier to do than I thought it might be.

I reckon I might be able to persuade the usb drive to 'restore' my iTunes media folder to another computer.

That could be handy if I ever manage to persuade PC World to part with that netbook I fancy.
