Join Chris Orwig for an in-depth discussion in this video Solving catalog conflicts with new hard drives, part of Lightroom 4: Catalogs.
Here I want to take a look at a common catalog problem that has to do with…working with hard drives and just the nature of hard drives.…Well, typically what we do is we buy the hard drive that we can afford.…In this case I have a one terabyte hard drive that I've named el jefe.…I like using creative names for my hard drives.…In this hard drive, let's say that it's filled up or maybe it's just getting a little bit old.…You know, typically you don't want to keep a hard drive after it's been running…for say about three, four, five years.…
So it comes time to upgrade either by necessity because the hard drive has…filled up or just because it's getting old and it's not operating very well.…So what we do is we go out and we buy a new hard drive, a 2 terabyte hard drive.…Then we decide that we need to copy all of our files from one hard drive to another.…So here if we open up this hard drive, what we'll see is we have all of our…exercise files on this, and then my new hard drive, well, it's empty.…
