I'm using lightroom 1.3.1 and keep all my photos ,catalog etc in a folder called ##lightroom on my external drive. Having recently upgraded my laptop's hdd to 320gig i thought i keep a copy the ##lightroom folder onto my laptop's hard disk so I can carry my photos with me without my caddy and also use my caddy as a backup if something went wrong.
I decided to user a software called synctoy from microsoft and it copied everything across ok, but when i start Lightroom with the catalog on my laptop's hard drive i get all sorts of corrupt database errors and then i quits. So i thought i'll do a straight copy within windows explorer and i still get the same problem. But when i run lightroom from my caddy - everything is ok Anyone have any ideas what i could be doing wrong and sorry for boring eveyone
Forgot to mention that my ##lightroom folder is about 120gigs so it takes a long time to copy
