Hi, I recently changed two drive letters and now Lightroom CC (Vers 12.2) doesn't recognize the hard drive's path anymore. Well, I remember there was a warning that some programs might not work anymore after changing the drive letter. As I never had a problem with it in the past, I ignored the warning. Any ideas on how I can fix it?

I used A & B as letters which caused trouble. So renamed the drive letters and now it's working again.

B is a Windows reserved for the old floppy drives
you can set a drive to S for storage or whatever not C or B then log into Lightroom goto settings and tell it the new letter for the drive but personally i stopped using lightroom when Adobe moved to metal drivers as their rendor are too slow now
