Missing files and cannot locate the files?

I am just a beginner so please be gentle with me.

I have been coming to grips with this excellent program and have my RAW recorded on an external hard drive images. (PC with W ) indows 10, current version of LR CC). Everything went very well, except that the overnight something happened and I am at a loss.

Earlier I started LR CC one nd was met with "Missing Photo" in the library, and "the folder cannot be found" to develop. I checked the hard drive and everything is right where I left and I have had no warning on closing program.

Nothing has changed about places, I mp o rts or anything else.

Suggestions please?

Under Windows, the most troubling problem with external drives is that the drive letters tend to change at any time. And Lightroom expect those to stay constant (sic). But if you work on a laptop AND a desktop computer, have a mobile disk is the best solution to go.

I attribute my external hard drive, a drive letter that is high enough so that Windows does not allocate it to a stick USB memory or disk of some external one that got connected before. Very 'bad' are these '11 in one' card readers. They tend to allocate a bunch of both drive letters.

There is also a possibility to join a drive to a path in your current as directory tree:

...------name\My Documents\My Pictures\Photos.

in this case, Photos must be an empty directory. The disc then works as an extension to this path. Instead of Y:\... you have access to your data at Photos\...
