trouble with extrenal drive and pan/crop

i have my video files on an external hard-drive. sometimes when i restart my computer or reboot the drive it comes back as a different letter. for example, sometime it is the M:\ Drive and sometimes it is the L:\ drive.

My problem is this:

I do some work in Vegas and save the veg file to the external drive. If, when i open the project again, the Drive is a different letter than when the project was saved, all the event pan/crop is wrong. every clip is zoomed way out so that my frame only takes up a quarter of the video preview window.

it doesn't happen very often so in the past i have just gone through and fixed all the event pan/crops. but now i'm working on much larger projects and it is beginning to take quite a bit of time to fix.

any ideas? thanks.
 
Wow. I use external drives all the time, and I've never seen anything like that, even if the drive letter changes.

Are you sure it's reading the same clips?
 
yeah, definitely the same clips. that's the only place they are. and the rest of the project is 100% perfect. its just the event pan/crops.
