Did you copy all your c drive folders off the laptop then delete them from the c: drive?

Its looking for the external hard drive which you moved the files on the C drive to.

You must have an additional drive/card reader/usb stick/camera etc connected which you didn't have before when you copied the files to the external drive which is why it is now designated as G.

The files are still in the external drive no matter what letter F or G is allocated to that drive, just open that drive and copy the files you need back to the C drive
