Hi All
I am in desperate need of help, and hope someone can help me find an answer.
I was backing up some things on my external HD (I was using my iMac, which I run osx 10.7.4 transferring to a Seagate FreeAgent Go Flex Drive - in case this helps/matters) and in the middle of the files transferring (I'm a photographer, so it was a huge batch of files), finder disappears, and returns and my transfer bars are gone. To no surprise, my files didn't transfer (I was also transferring some things from my external HD to my computer's HD). Next thing I noticed, half of the folders on my external HD in alphabetical order from the letter "k" onwards are missing. I later try to move a folder I already transferred earlier to it that starts with a letter "n" (so is missing at least visibly) and finder asks me if I want to replace the folder. Also, I noticed the file size of my external HD never changed, despite half the folders now being missing to the naked eye.
All this leads me to believe that my "missing" folders/files are there somewhere, I just can't see them. Any clue on how I can access them? I really need them as they are client files that some I have yet to work on. Help! Much appreciation in advance for any insight..
