I went ahead and set up my catalog on my C: drive.
Worked great and really didn't take that long. Pulled everything from Bridge. I don't ever have to go back.
But looking at LR, I have a whole hell of a lot to learn. ARK!!
EDIT: but this is on my laptop. I haven't even started setting things up on the new computer.
and I will need to get to the catalog from the desktop also. Now we have everything networked and I can find it if I have to but it will be a pain because that means I will have to have my laptop on.
I can't even figure out how to set up my widescreen monitor. Got so aggravated I turned the darn thing off and haven't turned it back on.
