Transfered music to new HD, Playlist won't recognize files.

I just transfered all my music files from one external hard drive to my hard drive on my laptop, but my playlist has the external hard drive as the hard drive that has all the songs on it. So winamp obviously can't find the files when i try to play them. Is there anyway to easily change the playlist settings to look at the new hard drive instead of the original? I have thousands of files so I don't have the time to go to each file and change the playlist entry. Thank you for your help.

You could open the playlist file in Notepad (by right-clicking it in Windows Explorer > Open with...), and then use the Replace function (menu Edit) to replace all old paths with the new one.
You may want to make a backup of the playlist file before trying, just to be sure.

If you're bored go here or, if the boredom is more serious, here.
