PSE7 Thumbnail problem Offline Media bug(?) in restoring from PSE5 to PSE7

Question

My problem is this: (It is similar to http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b7e77a, but the solution there is not applicable to my situation; at least I do not think so)
I have used the Photoshop Elements 5 backup method for storing the photos and catalog information, and I am trying to get it working in PSE 7 on my reformatted computer. Upon restoring the information, however, although all my files are unpacked at the location I choose, my entire catalog is listed as offline in PSE7 (with the red offline symbol shown on each ?-marked thumbnail). This seems to what is called Wrong drive type in catalog on the psedbtool homepage (http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/). Sure enough, checking the properties of the photo-files in the catalog, the old D:\... path is shown. I do not have two partitions on the computer anymore, however, so anything listed as D:\... is surely external (if not, as you note, properly denoted as offline).
The problem is listed on the psedbtool homepage as minor in effect, which sounds hopeful, but they are major at the moment to my subjective eye, since I cannot access any of my photos from PSE. The data is there, of course, but I cannot reconnect using the proper command, since it does not label anything as missing files. Only "offline". What I would like to do, if possible, is to rewrite the metadata so that I can tell PSE where my files are, since the internal structure seems to be perfectly correct. (Unfortunately, I cannot redo the procedure since I do not have access to the original catalog files anymore, only the photos themselves in addition to the backup file. I hate to lose all my metadata, however, including all my albums etc.)
Immensely grateful for a suggestion on how to fix it.

Answer 1

Thank for the quick response!
The full output file is attached below (sorry, my bad), and the photos are restored in subfolders under the path C:\Documents and Settings\Niklas\My Documents\My Pictures\Foton t om september 2008.
As may be noted in the output below (which is changed from the one posted before, in addition to being the full output this time), I have managed to get some photos reconnected. Reading through your help FAQ I noticed that I could make the offline content online by trying out Quickly reconnecting large numbers of photos suggestion 4 (http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-faq.htm#_Quickly_reconnecting_ large). It worked sort of, but unfortunately I have almost a thousand folders to go through (due to the import option creating a new folder for each day a photo is imported), so I wonder if there may be a better way of re-pointing the catalog.
Again, thanks!
