I chopped up a sample in recycle and moved it into the nn-xt no problems. All the samples were triggering fine and working nicely. I make my changes to the patch and save it and replace the old one. When I open up the nn-xt now and try load my patch it says samples couldn't be found and when i search for them it can't find them.... what do I have to do to save a patch like that ? Thanks for all the help

this shouldn't occur unless you moved the samples after saving the patch, but I'm not sure if it'll happen if you moved the patch and left the samples where they were...
So you're saying you don't know where the samples are on your drive? if that's the case (and you're using a pc) go into windows explorer, right click on one of the folders higher up in the hierarchy (but not the main drive, that'll take forever) and click "search." You'll get a dialogue where you can type in the name of one of the samples and find it.
