Keywords disappered from photos

[Neptwone]

After connecting a replacement EHD the keyword on my list are not attached to the photos

. I just connected a replacement EXD. I copied exactly as the original keeping the same file structure. I am running LR V.4 I connected the EHD by clicking the + on the top of the left side Panel. I noticed as soon I made the connection it prompted Import". I agreed and the EHD was recognized. My file structure appeared on the left Panel and the thumbnails and photo as well. But I noticed the any of the keywords on my list on the "right panel" were all shown, but for some reason none of keywords were attached to any photos. I checked and there is only the original Catalog which is stored in my Internal DR. I also can see on the right Panel my full name, Copywrite symbols, and all my information. If I'm using the same Catalog and able to see all the photos why the keywords are no longer attached to the photos. Also, after the import LR showed Preview rendering which took a long time. I can add any keyword from the list to any photos, so at least that is working. Any suggestions?

You asked this in the LightroomQueen forums as well, and it was answered there, but for other people who read this: DO NOT IMPORT MISSING PHOTOS AGAIN! The way to correct missing photos is by reconnecting them, or better still: their folders.
