  1. I keep all of my files on an external drive. But my computer (PC/Windows Vista) keeps renaming the USB port that I connect it to (I use the same port each time). So Lightroom will think my images are at G:WD Passport, but my computer has decided the port is now called F:WD Passport and Lightroom can no longer find any of my images. I then have to re-link every single folder. Anyway I can work around this in Lightroom??

  2. Hi Paula, I would put all your image folders into one master Images folder. That way you only have to re-link the one folder, and it will automatically find the subfolders.
