Just did an archive and reinstall of Leopard after having startup problem. The reinstall worked and settings were preserved. But, on opening iPhoto, all the albums have disappeared along with the photos that were contained in them. Only an handful of the several hundred photos have survived. Where did the rest go?

    Have you let iPhoto open your old iPhoto Library?



    And how many copies of an iPhoto Library do you have on your Mac after the install?



    If you have more than one, you could try to rename the one Library iPhoto opens now (normally the one under User/Pictures/iPhoto Library to something entirely not different like "iPhoto Library my shiny metal" or whatever, to force iPhoto on the next start to ask for a Library. Then you can chose another one, for example the one that was archived.
