hi. i had a launchbox bulid whit all my roms for different systems and consoles. and everything worked. and then i decided to move all my roms to a new location on another drive. and i have pointed to that folder in the edit system butt now it dose not show the rom avalible. i have the system intact and havent changed anything else butt dosent show. even when scaning for new rom or scan for deleted rom nothing helps. when checking the xml file for each system the folder lokation is the same as it was before butt in settings in launchbox it is changed to another folder where the roms are now.

anyone have any idea how to get it working?

I believe what you did was edit the platform(s) and the (re)set the Folder Path for "Game".  When you add new games to that folder, that's when it will find new games.

To change the path for existing games, in LaunchBox, select all the games in a given platform ("system").  Then go to Tools < File Management - Change ROMs Folder Path for Selected Games...
