Say I load new photos to cmputer hard drive then move those to various folders on the external drive.  Moved photos of flowers to a flowers folder on external drive Please clarify if these are brand new photos of flowers which have never been imported into LrC, or photos of flowers that have been previously imported into LrC. If the word "load" means Import into LrC, then please use the word "import" from now on; or does "load" mean something else to you? Please clarify if this move of photos was done in LrC or in your operating system. Also, there is absolutely no point to putting the photos on the internal drive if you plan to move them later to the external drive. This is just double the effort for no additional gain. Just import the photos directly onto the external drive straight out of the camera.
