Help Patty :?

I have 6 folder pair similar to this one:
Left Folder
C:\Users\BB\Downloads

Right Folder
I:\SyncToyBackups\Downloads

Drive I is the Seagate that went bad on me and I just replaced it with a new one provided to me under warranty. Now when I tried to run my Folder Pairs, I get the message: Folder Pair Endpoint Does Not Exist, Do I Want to Synchronize, Yes or No


I'm not sure what to do at this point......thanks.

You could try saying Yes and see what happens. Or you could simply delete the old pair and create a new one with the new drive.

Is the new one also Drive I:?
I think it would be easiest to simply delete the old pair and create a new one, even if it is the same drive letter/path. I suspect SyncToy is looking for it's hidden folder.

Steve, the new one was also Drive I. But I had to end up doing what you suggested.....deleting old pair and creating new one. When I didn't do that, SyncToy only gave me updates since the physical drives had been replaced. It's like SyncToy still thought it was working with the old drive, so only a few files needed to be updated.

Also, a few paths did change because I upgraded to Win 10 in between drive replacement. For example, in Win 7 they were called 'My Documents' and 'My Pictures', but in Win 10 it was 'Documents' and 'Pictures'.

But as we speak, SyncToy is cranking away on my new folder pair, so I'm going to bed..........thanks for your response.
