I bought a new external hard drive and need to move my photo raw files with their Lightroom sidecar files (saved in folders with the raw files) to the new drive. If I understand things right - and it may very well be that I don't - this must be done inside of Lightroom. Otherwise, with the new drive in place, the file path will have changed and Lightroom won't be able to locate my raw files.
I've been using Scott Kelbys book to learn Lightroom and I don't see this situation addressed in that book. This is sort of a newbe question, but I thought it was specific enough to place here instead of in the beginners forum. If it should be there instead, my apologies.
Anyway, I'd appreciate it if somebody could point me in the right direction. BTW, I will be using the new drive as my primary working drive, this is not for backup, I already have that covered.
