If you are storing your hyperlinks in a field then you can just update the path using the Field Calculator.

* Back up your data or use an edit session so you can undo any changes.
* For example - if your hyperlinks stored in a field called LinkPath:
* Open the attribute table for your data
* Open the Field Calculator for the hyperlink field
* Change the Parser option to Python
* Use the python replace function in your expression to change the path:

!LinkPath!.replace('C:\Temp\Photos', 'H:\Photos')

This will replace C:\Temp\Photos with H:\Photo - just change the values to match your own paths.
