Moving external drive to different PC

[FencerPhotos]

I have both my LR catalog & photos on an external drive.  It is attached to my laptop as drive D:.  If I move the external drive to my desktop the drive letter changes to G:.  Will the change in drive letter cause any problems with the LR catalog?

"problems"- Yes, but easily fixed!

On Drive G The LrC Catalog will still be 'looking' for a connected Drive D and show all Folders (and photos) as "Missing". ([?]on folders, [!] on photos). There a two ways to fix-

1) Easiest (and permanent) way- Rename the external Drive to a letter further along the alphabet. eg. Rename it to  the P Drive. (Photos-get it?) Then it will always be the P drive no matter which computer it is plugged.

Then Re-link Missing Files and Folders to the P Drive as in the following link (only needs doing once!)-

2)The annoying way- Relink the 'Missing' folders in the folder panel each time you swap the drive to another computer.

Nothing in the fix requires Importing or Synchronizing folders!!!  NO IMPORTING!

Your Catalog Preferences may also need adjusting to always start/open the Catalog on the P Drive.
