Where did my iPhoto Library go?

iPhoto 6.0.6 and external hard drive issue. I had set up the Library on the external hard (la Cie 150 GB) drive, ran with no problem for a long time. Now it does not go to the library on the hard drive. When I went to upload new photos yesterday, it was a completely new library, with none of the old photos. All the old photos are still on the external hard drive, but I cannot access them via iPhoto.

1) How do I fix it to go back to the library on the external Hard Drive
2) How do I see where the new photos library is. I cannot seem to find it.
3) How do I avoid this?
Thanks much

Unmount the drive, choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu, enter /Volumes/ as the path, move any folders inside to the desktop, and remount the drive. This may happen if the computer tries to access something on it while it's unavailable.
