This could be my problem. All 9000 photos are in my My Pictures folder
within subfolders. My only concern is, when I move the photos will Digital
Image Library know where to find these pictures in their new place (an
external hard drive)? Do I need to move them within the Library? It appears
that the Library only is looking at images within the My Pictures and My
Videos folders.

Thanks,

Jer

No, the Library will not find the
images unless you import them.

Actually after posting the message I discovered that with File--Add Pictures
and Videos to Library I was able to add the other folder that was on my
external hard drive to the library. DIS now shows all the photos in that
folder in the library.
