Moving linked Excel Workbooks to new HD

G

Hello.

I will soon be purchasing a new Mac, and will be moving a number of
linked workbooks from the original HD (named "Macintosh HD") on my old
machine to the hard drive on the new one. I haven't yet chosen a name
for the new machine yet, but am anticipating that unless I keep the
boring "Macintosh HD" on the new machine, all my workbooks are going to
choke on the file references. Right now the only way I can think to
update the file references is to open each workbook in turn and do a
Find & Replace, replacing "Macintosh HD" with the new HD name. However,
since there are multiple references to cells in other workbooks, I'm
going to encounter a lot of "file not found" errors until I get every
reference in every workbook changed. Surely there is an easier way to
do this - any suggestions?

Right now I am using v.X, but will be installing Office 2004 on the new
machine. I am running OS 10.3.7 on my current machine.
Thanks for your help!

George
