WMP11 Not recognising MP3's

I've just rebuilt my desktop and prior to this had painstakingly
ripped over 200 CD's to MP3 format.

However, when I try to browse those files now (they are stored on an
external HD) they are unreadable under DOS or by the library within
WMP11. I can see the files within Windows Explorer and if I copy the
files to My Documents\My Music they can be seen there.

Anyone got any sugestions on why this happening or what I can do to
get it working??

Thanks in advance!

Try posting to microsoft.public.windowsmedia.player newsgroup instead.
