If you use iTunes for your music, you'll have to rebuild the library. If you use Picasa for your pictures, you'll have to rebuild your library. As for Picasa, I have some tips about how to use a helper program with Picasa, Picasa Starter, that I've found extremely useful for managing a collection of pictures that does not reside on the local machine.

In any case, your music (*.mp3 files) and your pictures (*.jpg files) are likely still on your external drive.
