This is quite easy to solve. An exclamation mark should appears on the right upper corner of each image. Right click and you will be able to relocate your images. Simple and efficient'

Good luck

Sorry to disagree, Eric.

Clicking on the exclamation mark to re-link one photo is the last thing that should be done! NOT "Simple and efficient"!

The OP needs to take the advice of @dj_paige and @GoldingD  to FIRST- Correct the Drive Name problem as in the linked article.

 

 

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.3, Photoshop 27.5, ACR 18.3, Lightroom 9.3, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.3 .
