Here's the quick backstory:

I used the Apple support page about 3 months ago to transfer my iTunes library (everything - music, podcasts, apps, etc) to an external hard drive. This has been working fine.

Last week I installed a new internal hard drive (Mac Pro) and yesterday I went back and followed the same instructions to copy the library back to my new drive. This SEEMED to work. (I did the Library -> Organize Library -> Consolidate Files like the support document said.)

I had to reboot earlier today, and when iTunes came up, it asked me to choose a library. I browsed to the new folder, but none of my stuff is coming up.

Everything's definitely there - I was able to temporarily "add to library" so I can listen to my music again, but I feel like I'm in the middle of a huge mess, and would love to be able to just start this whole process over. Is there any way to do this?

Thanks!
