Do I have to do anything to my music drives or will Protools recognize them when I upgrade?

It's going to be basically a fresh install of the OS on the C drive and re-install of PT 8 and the Instrument Expansion pack and mp3 converter and other plugins.
Fresh install the only way to go.

Nothing to do to your DATA Drives.

Just do all the normal AVID suggested OS Tweaks and you will be good to go.

Make sure you are running the latest version of PT 8 which was 8.0.5 I think.
