Reinstalling LIGHTROOM without any catalogs

Jul 14, 2012 8:24 AM

I had a computer crash and burn.  My hard drive was ok,  I have a new computer and have rearranged all my photos on the new hard drive.  I need to start fresh with Lightroom but when I reinstall the software it auto loads the catalogs.  I have about 7000 photos and its a big job but I have to do it.  Can I reload Lightroom and not the catalogs? 

 

Also,  If I delete all metadata and previews associated with my pictures will this also delete all editing of my photos or will that just get rid of the Catalogs???
