Hi Lindsay 
When you open Lightroom in Library mode do you see thumbnails of your photos but just can’t access them?  If so, you can Select All and then use Library>Find All Missing Photos to get LR to locate them and recatalogue. 

Good Luck, this sort of thing can be a real pain. 
Cheers

Hi Lindsay

The catalog is unlikely to be deleted, just that Lightroom can't find it. You can search your computer for the file      Lightroom Catalog.lrcat

When you find it you tell Lightroom where to look by going to Edit>Preferences>Default Catalog and use the drop down menu to specify the location.

If you don't already, you should backup the Catalog file each time you exit Lightroom.  The backup should be to a different physical hard drive to where the original file is stored.  Hopefully you have 2 hard drives on your computer and not just one that has been partitioned.

I hope this helps.

Cheers
Brian

Recently I installed an upgrade of Windows 10 on my computer and in the process I have lost the complete catalogue from Adobe Lightroom. I still have all photos on external hard drives and back-up files on the computer hard drive. However, I am not computer savvy enough to rectify my problem. Can anyone give me advice on what I should do. I would appreciate any helpful suggestions.

 

Regards
