If you duplicate your working drive on to new external drive then you will
get all the files needed for Lightroom ( I'm assuming your photo only computer
has everything on the C drive).
In Windows XP I know you can permanently assign letters to drives except
for C (and probably A and B).
In Windows 7 I don't know if one can. Windows 7 lists drives
with OS on them as OS (C) and OS(F) and I have to check the size to see which
one is C since one drive is 1T and the other is 2T. What I have done
on my XP computer is to create a folder that appears first on the drive that ids
it e.q. AAA 80 Gig Maxtor so I always can check what drive I'm on.
When duplicating whole drives you have to create the folder each time you
duplicate it.
