Olympus workspace issue

I have Olympus Workspace version 1.1 (the latest, I think).
Recently, I copied photos over to a new larger hard drive. I still have the original hard drive as well. The two drives are now exact copies of each other. I can assign the two hard drives to the same drive letter. G in my case. The the raw edit information is stored with the programs AppData on the C drive.
When using the original drive the raw edits are visible but invisible when using the new drive. I spoke with Olympus about this issue. While very responsive they were unable to find a solution or provide an explanation. It seems odd that specific drive information is stored in the app data.
Comments and suggestions are welcome.

I have Olympus Workspace installed but I never use it much, sorry I cannot help you with your problem.
I have just checked mine and it appears to be working OK on all my drives. I am wondering about the drive letter being the same letter "G" and if that could cause a problem, why not assign a totally different letter so you know which drive you are using.
Version 1.1 is the latest although I consider it's a poor piece of software anyway

The two drives are not connected at the same time but both are "G" when in use.

Are the volumes named differently? Did you name the first "G" drive say "Test 1" and the second "G" drive "Test 2"?

Indeed they are. Could that be the answer?
More than likely. See the first "G" drives volume name was was "linked" to the first editing process. When the second "G" drive was introduced the volume name did not match and the software was looking for the original drive, since it was coded per se the the first volume name. The second drive then became a new set of photos (duplicates).

Unfortunately this is not the answer. Changing the drive name doesn't help.
