Files not found

I have all my photos in an external drive.  I loaded them into LR Classic. When I go to work on them it says the folder could not be found?  I am using the same computer I downloaded the photos from.  What am I doing wrong?

Thank you.

    Assuming the images are still on the external hard drive and you haven't rename the parent folder then fixing the issue should be relatively simple. Have a look at Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders

    I looked at the website you suggested.  I can see this is going to take awhile. However, I do not show any question marks or exclamations marks.  I'm thinking of just trying to start all over.  This is too frustrating.

    Thank you.

    Are the photos still on the external drive and is it connected to your pc?
