Title: lightroom with portable drive
Post by: mtkang on February 13, 2012, 22:09

Hi all,

I kept my files in a folder of a portable drive, and I imported to lightroom as F:/ drive, I found out the lightroom failed to recognize the folder one day and I have reimport the folder and found out that the adjustments i have done on the folder is lost.

I found out the problem could be I am using a USB modem that is recognized as F:/ now, and the portable drive with fold is recognized as H:/

I thought the lightroom adjustment setting is with the folder so I am surprise when I re-imported the folder, the adjustment is gone. Any thing I can do to prevent something similar to happen?

To change drive letter.
From the Computer icon properties on your desktop choose > Manage>Disk management
in disk management you can right click to any disk you want to change its letter.
