Moving files already in a catalog to a new HD

I have a lot of photos on one hard drive that are already in a catalog successfully managed by MP.
I am going to move a large set of these files/folders from one hard drive to another later today, deleting them from the original drive.
I assume that I will need to point MP at these new folders.

Does anyone have any advice or words of wisdom before I start?

  Move your files to your new hard disk. Now, open your catalog. Media Pro will open the catalog but will not be able to render the pics. In the organizer (the panel on the left) click with the right button on "reset folder path" and point to the new path.

  Thanks. I had assumed that, but given some of the issues that others had reported, I wasn't 100% sure.
  I'l make any last minute changes to the folder structures before I make the moves.

  I got them all moved. It seems like there are no problems - good news.
