Hello all,

Don't post here too often but have always gotten great results when I have, so thanks in advance.

Scenario: I have one computer w/an internal drive that is nearing capacity. I would like to add either a second internal drive or an external drive. My photos are located at C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\Photos, note I intentionally chose not to put them in "My Photos".

By moving them to another drive, I would free up 146GB from my current drive.

Question: How do I accomplish this while still maintaining the current structure of LR? Do I move from w/in LR? Since I've been using LR I've always used side-car files, so I believe my data won't be lost. I would hate to copy to the new drive and then just have to reimport all photos again.
 
Do I move from w/in LR?

Yes. Once the drive is installed or connected use LR to push all the images over to it via the Folder panel.
You will have to make LR aware of the new rive by creating a folder on it or importing an image from it. Then it will show in the Folder panel.
