Hello, 

My computer died with my hard drive plugged in. It will only open old catalogs but not my most recent. SOS!! Not sure what happened, if folder moved or what. I have restarted 3 times, and my updated my lightroom to and it still wont open.

Restoring a corrupt catalog from a hardware failure is extremely unlikely.

Your best option is to extract the most recent catalog backup from its ZIP file, move it to a more suitable working catalog folder, and re-open the (backup) catalog. (To re-open [Double-click] the .LRCAT file ).

 

Regards. My System: Lightroom-Classic 13.4, Photoshop 25.11, ACR 16.4, Lightroom 7.4.1, Lr-iOS 9.0.1, Bridge 14.1.2, Windows-11.
