Perhaps an explanation:
1) Blue screen of death; got hard drive replaced; hard drive was readable so repair guy transferred files; had to re-install many programs including Premier (successfuly).
2) got back to tagging photos and discovered some missing photos (particularly videos).
3) got a USB to IDE/SATA adaptor to look at the old hard drive. Found the missing photos/videos.
4) Transferred one set of videos from the old drive. Checked to see if Premier recognized them.
5) Somehow Premier went into the old drive and brought up the old data - reading from the D drive instead of the C: drive. As I still had the D drive connected to the computer, it must have decided to go there.
6) I figured I could force Premier back to the C: drive with a backup recovery, but got stopped as I did not not know what folder it should go into - hence the question above.
7) Being impatient, I found an Adobe folder labeled 'catologs'. Ran the backup with that as the destination folder. Mistake.
8) The good news, Premier reads the C:Drive, the 20k+ pictures, and the tags. The bad news, the "My Folders" window (left hand window) is screwed up. In this window, the 'list'view' appears to have all my folders. However, the 'tree' view brings up the entire C: drive folders -all of them. With the way I organize things,I prefer the 'folders' view and that view is useless now. Closing the program and re-booting hasn't helped. I'm guessing I got stupid by putting the backup recovery in the wrong folder. If you have any ideas on how to fix this, this time I'll standby patiently for a response.
