Make sure that the external drive is plugged in to your PC before you start iTunes. That's all that should be necessary.

Thanks, what about this box 'Keep iTunes Media Folder Organised' ?

It was ticking that and the 'Copy Files' box today that seemed to have corrupted everything, even though everything was already in the correct place. iTunes moved media sub folders out of the media folder and that's where the broken links have been created. it was Apple Support that told me to move them back inside the Media Folder which added some links but not all.
