Yes, i download the files to specific folders, then drop and drag the whole folder to LR2. My impressions of the catalogue back up, and thus buying a 250 Gig external, was that when i backed up the catalogue, the photos in LR went with them, even though i have them in folders and even thought i have them on seperate externals as well.
