[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1473173, member: 38864"] Ah. I'm guessing that the drive is formatted using FAT32 then. Improper ejection of FAT32-formatted drives most certainly can cause problems. If the files can be recovered, then great. Once done, make sure you have everything backed up on another drive, then use Disk Utility to delete the partition and make a new single partition using Mac OS Extended (journaled), aka HFS+. Then copy everything off the other drive back to it, then repeat for the other drive. [/QUOTE]
