Keywords lost after (re) installation from an external hard drive

Last weekend, I formatted my HD PC and installed Windows 7 64-bit (previously installed was Vista). Human error was - perhaps - make sure my AppData backup is successful. However, my photo folder was a DHM, and I guess I would be saved anyway.
I ran the import function of my DHM in LR3 (latest version), and everything has gone just find, except that my keywords were missing. Strange thing however, that my lists of keywords and keyword suggestions were complete, but no connected to the photos (except 1!)
So my question is, is there something I have missed (outside my AppData folder) which could be fixed, or I'll have to start re-branding (keywording, metadata as dates etc. were imported as well)?

Thanks in advance,

When individual images (some but not all in a folder) is missing, click the question mark on the frame of the images in the grid, and navigate to the correct location of the image on your hard drive.

If an exclamation mark appears in addition to a folder in the Control Panel folder right click on this folder and , that is, navigate to the correct location of the folder on your hard drive.

Do this for the file above in the hierarchy which show question marks and all subfolders will be found by LR too, provided that the structure of folders and folder names have not changed.

Question marks appear only when you moved in images / files off LR through your operating system, but also when you rename the files / images outside of LR.

All of these things, moving images / folders, renamaming images / files are better made in LR. This way LR keeps track of its new location / the new name.

  • Install Vista from an external hard drive

    My girlfriend has a laptop Dell Inspiron with Vista Home Premium on it. She has the Dell installation disk, but its optical drive does not work. My laptop HP with an optical drive that works and I used to copy the installation on an external hard drive Seagate disc.

    I want to do a clean install of Vista on Dell sound. Can I just start directly from the folder on the external drive? How can I go about it?

    If your external drive is connected via usb the computer cannot start.  The computer does not scan for a bootable hard drive usb bus.  In addition, if you just copy the disk the file is not bootable.  She needs fix his optical drive if it is faulty.  If it works, you affect the optical drive as the device higher in the boot order in the BIOS Setup.  If you do not have the experience to do this take the computer in a store.

  • Can I have macbook start up from my external hard drive instead of the internal HD of the laptop?

    I use a macbook air 2014 model and would like to know if I can boot the mac from an external hard drive rather than the inside. The reason to do this is to save space on the laptop and updates can be installed directly on the external hard drive.

    Is this possible? Forgive me, because I'm not that tech savvy. Thank you in advance!

    Yes. Install or clone of Mac OS X on it and then select it in the pane of the system preferences Startup disk.

    The http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925718 instructions are for WMP 11 on XP. Here are the correct steps to WMP 11 Vista: (note the reset of the library will make you lose all the counts to play and possibly ratings too)

    -Restart the PC.
    -Click Start, type services.msc in the search field and press ENTER. In Services, locate the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service . If its status is started , double-click the service, and then click stop .
    -Click Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft in the search field and press ENTER. This folder opens in Windows Explorer.
    -In this folder, rename the folder Media Player as Old Media Player . If you do not see the folder, then it is probably hidden. Set Explorer to view the hidden files and folders and show protected system files.
    -Launch WMP, your library will have been reset and will be rebuilt. Check if the problem persists.

  • Boot from an external HARD drive via USB

    I have an 8200 Elite SFF and wants to start an alternative system (not Linux, but * NIX - like BONE) of a disk external DRIVE, connected via a USB port. My main operating system is WIN 7 64 bit, but for some special tasks I´d like to use the alternative OS. It worked without any problem on my two previous stand-alone - elected USB as a boot device in the BIOS boot menu and it starts fine.  However, on my Compaq 8200 there no USB option in the start menu. However, when I connect the external HARD drive to a USB port, the name of the HARD disk appears in the start menu, but again, it won't start him.  Have heard that there is a tweak to fix this, or maybe I m wrong. Alternatively, my stand-alone motherboard just can´t boot from an external hard drive via USB? Any ideas?

    Yes,

    Unplug everything plugged to the computer except the keyboard, mouse and monitor.

    Then use this method to Flash the BIOS.  It's the best way to go.

    USB Device Flash BIOS DOS

    BACK Flash (DOSFlash.exe, FlshUefi.cpu) is the Flash BIOS DOS compatible system utility that can be used from a bootable BACK storage device (where the 'BACK' refers to a number of operating systems such as FreeDOS, DR - DOS or MS-DOS). FlshUefi.cpu is the driver required for DOSFlash.exe. To Flash the BIOS of the system to a bootable USB storage device, you'll need to copy the contents of the BACK Flash file on the USB device, start the PC from the USB device and run the DOSFlash application. To see a more complete description of the BACK flash utility, view DOSFlash.txt located in the folder BACK Flash. This folder also contains the required binary BIOS image.  The binary image file is named xxx_MMmm.bin , where "xxx" is the family of BIOS, 'MM' is the major version number and "mm" is the minor version number.  This file can be copied to the root directory of any removable media USB for use with F10 setup option «Flash system ROM»

    The display of the folder BACK Flash content

    The links on this post do not work. I copied the section from the BIOS flashing instructions for the specific section you need.

  • Lightroom has deleted my photos from an external hard drive

    Anyone know why every time I have to import my photos in Lightroom from my external hard drive and there just deletes everything on my external hard drive and he moved to my office? How can I change? It is so annoying!

    My guess is that you use move during the import. (top of the import dialog box)

    Change it to Add.

  • I imported my photos from an external hard drive in Lightroom, edited my photos but then...? !

    Adobe,

    I imported my photos from an external hard drive in Lightroom, edited my photos and when I decided to export the originals had not been updated and deleted photos were not deleted. How I set up so that once I have import photos, edit and export they are then placed in their original case reviewed and updated?

    I managed to export photos to another file, but they were exported with an Adobe.xmp file. What is it and is it necessary?

    Thanks for your help!

    OK then so when you export edited LR images to tell the Office I do not need to use xmp files unless I want then to re - edit still say in Photoshop or another app?

    You don't need the files xmp during the passage of LR to Photoshop. Right click on the image or in the develop module, click Photo > edit in... According to what you have set in the preferences of the image then opens like FFT, JPEG or PSD - 8 bit / 16 bit - and the new TIFF file for example automatically will return to sitting next to the original RAW LR library. If you are exporting a RAW file edited to the desktop to JPG/TIFF then changes will be permanently stamped in the EXIF of the created files.

    Basically import my Raw files on the drive from Carmera card, then in LR. Edit in LR, finishing and export again say in the office. Keep or throw originals that I please...

    Yes, but why would you throw your originals? You can later return to the original and the re - change all over again new experiences learned etc..

    Can I see the modified pictures made in Photoshop in LR later?

    Yes, see first paragraph above. If you already have a file in LR, take it in Photoshop as a JPG/TIFF/PSD, it will be automatically reduced in LR. If you modify a file outside the LR and that is not already in the LR library, say by locating the RAW file in Explorer and then open it directly in ACR/Photoshop, then LR will have no idea what you did except in LR, you choose to import the image later. Remember though, this is one of the examples where you will need to configure save metadata in xmp (at bridge) so that when you import the edited outside the file RAW LR, LR will read the xmp file changes and save it in its own database.

  • Starting from installation, recovery - on - external hard drive

    Computer: Gateway MD2614u laptop, AMD Turion X 2 64-bit processor, designed for Windows Vista

    External hard drive: WD My Book Essentials (surrounded by Western Digital 500 GB drive external hard)

    Background: laptop was dropped, crushed physically the internal hard drive, all other aspects of the laptop appear to be in working condition.

    Vista says: Windows Setup cannot install another USB or IEEE 1394 device.

    It is important to note that the external drive is a SATA.  ALSO that there is NO hard drive internal to the computer right now.

    I pulled the drive from its casing and place in my desktop computer.  I have installed Vista in this way, and placed the disc in its case, confident, would solve the problem.  "The found operating system"

    I wiped the drive and tried again, this time using my Windows 7 to format the drive make a primary partition active and used the WD SmartWare to disable the password on the external, as well as VCD (Virtual CD, which contains the software for backup on and retrieve the external hard drive) on the outside.  Then installed Vista back once again, the drive in the enclosure, and again, I got 'the operating system not found '.

    I tried to use the "gateway recovery disc" the computer asked me to do immediately after I ran it the first time.  They have installed the Vista gateway on the external hard drive without any problem, the recovery software has taught me that I had to press OK to restart the computer, but again once 'the operating system not found"happens.  I advanced and rebooted the computer out of habit and that the computer starts in what concerns the loading of "microsoft" bar (the green bar moving left to right while loading vista), and then it restarted itself.  This new responsible for the 'green bar' and restarted again.

    3 times I let him, then I placed the regular 64 bit Vista disc in the status bar and try a startup repair.  "Windows cannot resolve the problem, do you want to send the information to Microsoft" or something that nearby.

    I then tried using the disk for 32-bit Vista in the same way.

    32 bit Vista disc completed the repair, but now the 'green bar' vista loading screen comes up, runs for a few seconds, and then I get a quick flash of a blue screen, and until I can see what he says, the computer restarts.

    Help!
