Hi.

I've had to get a new PC and the main drive is smaller than my previous one, so I'm using an external drive for storing photos,and so they've moved from "C" to "D".

I've finally got my backup catalogues installed in Lightroom, but all the pictures in all the folders are greyed out, and on the folders tab it still says "C" drive.

How do I change that to "D" drive?

Probably very simple and I'm just being a bit dim.
Cheers.

Steve.

Yes it is very simple. See these instructions, particularly Figure 4 and associated text.

That's very helpful, Thanks.

Unfortunately something seems to have gone wrong apart from that as well.

Most of my folders on the "C" drive seem to have vanished, even using the last catalogue back up, so it looks like I've got to start again anyway.

They have not vanished! That are now shown in LrC in the Folder Panel on the D drive. It sounds to me that everything has worked properly.
