I have two external drive backups of my Lightroom images, Drive 2 and Drive 6. Drive 2 was recently dropped and I am unsure whether or not it might eventually fail so I want to stop using it and switch to Drive 6. Due to a misunderstanding of the proper procedure to follow I initially moved the year folders 2011 and 2012 from Drive 2 to Drive 6 (see screen shot) When I discovered that this was not the proper way to do it I attempted to reconnect the photos to the catalog by connecting drive 2 back to my computer, highlighting the year folder 2011, right clicking it, selecting Find Missing Folder, selecting year folder 2011 on Drive 2, and clicking on choose. When I tried to view the reconnected folder I found the much feared ? When I clicked on the ? I got an error message (see second screen shot) indicating the original file could not be found. Obviously I am still not doing this properly. any idea where I went wrong and what I need to do to fix things?
Thanks!
