b_gossweiler Apr 17, 2012 1:31 PM (in response to pennipeter)Have you moved your images to the external drive using Explorer/Finder?
Can you please post a screenshot of your folder panel?

JimHess Apr 18, 2012 10:33 AM (in response to pennipeter)If you want Lightroom to keep track of your images then you have to use Lightroom to move them. Even though Explorer/Finder is called by Lightroom, you are using the operating system to move the files. In the library module, the folder that contained those images should also display "?" Which indicates that Lightroom no longer knows where those images are located. Right click on that folder and you will be presented with options that will enable you to point Lightroom to the appropriate folder on your HD.

Mandhir Bhatia Apr 18, 2012 10:50 AM (in response to pennipeter)Whenever you have to make changes or move the pictures make sure you use the lightroom for this.
However when you pulled the files from Desktop to Hard Disk the catalog is trying to find the files at the default locations.
The ? mark is the sign of this. Hence please follow the links below which will be helpful.

pennipeter Apr 18, 2012 10:53 AM (in response to JimHess)This is a screen shot I hope you can see. I attached my HD and did the right click. I didn't know I had to steer LR exactly to the folder on my HD. I thought it sees it. In any case I think I showed it as seen on the left but there are still "question marks (??)" Please help and I appreciate your earlier comments. Penni

At this time the LR is picking up the thumbnail previews from the cache however the original files are missing which is shown by question mark.
