Ok,...this is a good one. So I have a bunch of projects that I need on my WD external drive. When I start my computer I can open the drive and see my files,......for about 10 seconds,....and then they all disappear, and it says "number of files 0" at the bottom. So I can't work fast enough to get files off,.....but they're there. Thoughts!!?? Thanks in advance.:\

If the drive remains mounted (even though the files disappear), use Disk Utility to verify and repair it. Let us know the result.
