So a few months ago we've upgraded our pc with new hard drives. Thankfully the drive containing DAZ3d wasn't "accidentally" reformatted so I can still use the program at least. The studio works but all the content seems to be gone? The free ones and the stuff I've downloaded can't be seen in my library. It's gonna take hours to redownload them again, please help. I can't find the Install Manager either.

Okay, so I found my stuff. But why does it look like this? I honestly kept laughing when I saw this, but seriously, anyone?

    The program and the content are two entirely different things. How are you looking for the content, in the Smart Content pane or the Content Library pane? Does it appear in the Content Library but not in Smart Content?

    If you know the path to your content library, then go to Edit > Preferences > Content Library > Content Directory Manager, and make sure that it is entered for BOTH DAZ Studio Formats and Poser Formats. That should allow you to see your content inside DAZ Studio in the Content Library pane at least.

    There is no need to redownload and reinstall content, jut tell DAZ Studio where to find it as described above.

    I still can't find anything at all. Sigh... I've decided to copy the the daz3d studio onto my main local disk and reinstall the Install Manager as well. Will this affect anything? Since my aim is to just download the male and female starter packs as pose reference, I was thinking of skipping downloading the daz3d studio in the Install manager.

    You are using Poser Formats to load DAZ Studio figures?

    It looks like the 'data' folder is missing as well, that is why you are getting the blocky figure.

    You would be as well reinstalling the DIM (DAZ Install Manager) redownload and install DAZ Studio and the Genesis starter Essentials packs to where you want them to be installed to. It is not a good idea to move the program itself from one disk to another, better to reinstall where you want it to go.

    I'm not sure that I understand exactly what you have done during the upgrade of your drives.

    Question 1 - were all your drives replaced? Including the boot drive (C:\ if Windows)?
    Question 2.- If the answer to 1 is yes, did you re-install the operating system, or did you use a disk image to clone the original boot drive? (PS, I assume that you know that you cannot simply copy the contents of your boot drive to another - if you did I'm surprised that anything works)

    This shouldn't affect access to your content, but I notice that you haven't registered that copy of DAZ Studio yet by entering the serial number available from your DAZ account, because it is still showing as DAZ Studio 4.7 Standard. When registered, it will show as DAZ Studio 4.7 Pro and more features will be available.

    I'm not certain you successfully copied all the content correctly over from the old drive to the new, which is why you can't load Genesis correctly - DAZ Studio can't find some of the files. If you look under Help - Troubleshooting - view log file, that will open a text file. Scroll to near the bottom and it should tell you what went wrong when you loaded Genesis into your scene and give you an idea of what is missing or in the wrong location.
