I installed a new internal hard drive and wanted to move My Lightroom catalog from the existing external hard drive to the new one.
After readin several methods on the forum, I decided to copy/paste My Lightroom in Windows Explorer.
After verifying all files and folders had been copied successfully, I ejected my externalhard drive.
Then I opened Lightroom and added a new folder...My Lightroom on the new drive.
LR saw the new internal hard drive folder My Lightroom...and it showed the external hard drive with a "?".
Then, instead of right clicking and hitting "Find Missing Folder"...I clicked Import photos on the new drive. Dumb.
All the photo's are there in LR...but I have none of the instructions, adjustments, flags, ratings...nothing.
And now LR doesn't see the photo's on the old external hard drive.
Any idea how to re-establish all the work I've done?
