Since I changed my external HD (where my masters are - the old one is the "OLD HD" mentioned in the message), every time I want to import new photos (right click the folder: "import to this folder"), the following annoying message appears:

The destination folder “/Volumes/OLD HD/ LIGHTROOM MASTERS/2018/2018 EOS 80D” is not available. Using “Pictures” folder instead.

Then everything goes where it has to go (the new HD)
I did not find a way to get rid of the message
 
You possibly have an import preset selected, which was set to import to the old HD. If so, either modify it to point to the new HD, or create and select a new one.
 
No preset.
I am choosing the folder destination (where i want to import) with the mouse right click. And immediately it appears. Then i click ok nevertheless and move on choosing the source. LR imports then correctly, but the the mentioned dialog box is annoying
