Setting up a new computer to see existing 1PW vaults

My MacBook Air just died, and was replaced by Apple under warranty. I'm reinstalling all software on the new machine (running Yosemite). 1Password works fine, and I pointed it to my existing 1Password file (to my master vault, in Dropbox). However, it is not seeing any of my secondary vaults, which previously were available from within my master vault. I can't see a way to point the program to existing secondary vaults; it has the option to create a NEW vault, but that's not what I want.

How should I proceed? Thanks!

    @michuser49: I'm sorry to hear about the computer troubles, but relieved to hear that you didn't lose your 1Password data!

    And I apologize for the confusion. The good news is that all you need to do is locate the 1Password vaults you are trying to add in your Dropbox folder and double-click them to open them in 1Password. You will be prompted to enter the Master Password to unlock them, and then you can continue using them as usual. 1Password will manage them from then on. I hope this helps! :)
