I get the message "Database being restored is not valid.&nbsp; Restore cannot continue."</p> <p>The photos are on an external drive which I copied to Drive C using ACDSee.</p> <p>On my old computer the main photos were on an internal drive called "Drive E" with a backup copy on an external drive.&nbsp; I was unable to copy the files back to a drive "E" as it is a removable disk on the new computer.</p> <p>I hope that someone can help me as I certainly don't want to catalogue thousands of photos again.</p> <p>Marlene</p>
