That would be the ideal solution. If you can get the drive your catalogue is on working long enough to copy it to a good drive, copy it then tell Lightroom to use it.

You should also have a back up of it somewhere, though sometimes it ends up on the same drive as the working catalogue if you aren't careful.

Thanks Bill

The drive does work on occasion I guess I just can’t copy to catalog over
to the other then redirect it at closing LR??

It is, but any edits you have made within Lightroom will be lost.

My old external drive is not being read on my new iMac, but my other one
is. The non working one has my LRC cataloge, do I just go agphead and
create a new catalog on the working drive, is it really that simple?
