If you have the media on another drive, then you can reconnect the media to the project using Reconnect Media. If you don’t have the media at all, then just recapture the project using the original tapes.

Just click on all the footage that is now offline and do a batch capture. If you set reel names for the tapes during original capture this should be no problem, just feed it the tapes it tells you.

Exactly. Just do as Guy says and once you complete the batch captures, your Sequence will be put right back together.

Just spread a bunch of pillows around the floor beneath the drive. That should save the next one if it happens again. 🙂

A tube of “Crazy Glue” is cheaper.
Just make sure your associate is sitting in a comfortable position before you stick him down.
