Lightroom can't use the catalog named 'Master Catalog 5'

I use a Dell laptop that was running Windows 7 x 32.

Yesterday, I formatted the hard drive and installed Windows 7 x 64.

All my Lightroom files are on an external hard drive.

After you have reinstalled 5 Lightroom on my new version of Windows, I tried then open Master Catalog 5 only for getting the following message...

"Lightroom cannot use the catalog named ' Master Catalog 5 ' because it is not writable and can not be opened."

I then read all (I hope) I could find on this topic on this forum and made sure that the Master Catalog (and all subfolders) on the external hard drive can read; Click on 'Properties' and made sure read-only has been highlighted.

This has not solved the problem for me.

I also noticed that there is a 'log' file I deleted and a file .lock I found.

None of this helped I always get the same warning message.

Maybe you have an idea on what I can do next?
