Hi all, been using LR for a good few months now, however I have filled my main hdd and need to transfer all my shots across, sounds easy... but here we go!

I transfer from SD card to my hdd into 'my pictures' folder, then only import to LR what I want to edit. So out of thousands of shots I only hold about 1k in LR.

So the plan is to install a 1tb drive later, copy all 'my pictures' folder to it, then what happens will be LR will loose all the links to the imported shots I guess. So what do I do to sort it out?

I don't want to do it then realize I will loose all my edits etc
 
Ok next question... still related though. In 'my pictures' folder, I have a folder called 'Lightroom', inside that there are folders called 'Backups', 'Lightroom 3 Catalog Previews.lrdata', 'Lightroom 4 Catalog Previews.lrdata' and then icons for LR 3 and 4 Catalogs.

They will have been copied over to the new drive as I just copied and pasted the whole of my Pics folder over. Can delete this folder? What are these folders for?
