I have 2 identical computers with the same Lightroom running on them.

I usually work on my home computer editing wedding photos in the morning. When I need to go to the office I take my editing SSD drive with me and istall it into my other PC. This is not an external SSD but a regular secondary drive I insert into the computer and close the housing.

Every time I swap the SSD drive the Lightroom catalog gets corrupted. The backup copy works so I use that all the time but the main catalog is corrupted.

My question: Why does it create a problem that I remove the SSD and insert it into another computer? Both computers has the same processor, motherboard, etc. I make sure I completely shut down the computer before I remove the drive.

Any ideas????
 

Thanks so much!!! This mya be a solution to store everything in SMP file.
The problem is that I am an Indian wedding photographer: www.haringphotography.com
I shoot Indian weddings of 2-4 days. I have 3000-4000 images to process. I can't do this every day before starting working on them.
I guess LR is just not designed to work on two computers.
