Bit of explaining, sorry!

All my 7317 songs (48.81Gb) of music were stored on my external USB (Western Digital My Book) hard drive but I wanted to move the library to the iMac's internal 1Tb drive because

a) the external drive is louder (the only thing I hear in fact, the iMac is so quiet! so find it rather annoying hearing the external HD).

b) the ext. HD is in NTFS so I couldn't modify stuff

Anyway, I followed the Apple guide, Advanced Preferences, changed iTunes Media folder location to the internal drive, clicked OK, File, Library, Organise Library (use to be called Consolidate library).

All in all fine, but I realised that now and then the ext. HD would spool up before the track plays. So I checked the location of the particular track and behold, it's still stored on the ext. HD!

The problem is it's only on random few tracks now and then. How the hell am I suppose to fix or go through the 7000+ tracks to find out which ones are still on the ext. HD?

Of course I haven't deleted the ext. HD iTunes library just in case anything happens.

Help!!!

Many many thanks.
