Hello, I have problems to download my pictures from another catalogue. If I download an album most of the pictures are corrupted and it looks like a collection of small squares when I open a picture. Please help?

There is a problem. When I download my pictures (Lightroom 6, version 6.8) from an external harddisk (import from a another catalogue, all my pictures are corrupted. In the frame there are exclamation marks  and in the imported maps they are marked with a question mark (?). The system lost there connection with the original files. It means that I have to look to all my 28847 pictures and reconnect the files. Is there a quicker solution? I hope so, it is a hell of a job!! Please HELP
