[QUOTE="RavingMac, post: 1277947, member: 45350"] Out of curiosity, do your photos still show in iPhoto, Aperture, Lightroom (whichever APP you use) and can you open them for Editing? This entire thing is weird, but if the answer above is yes I would immediately: 1) Export them to another drive so I have a backup (if you don't already) 2) Quit using your current drive for work, or backup (or anything else for that matter) until this is solved--if for no other reason that you may want to try file recovery software and you don't want to overwrite your files 3) Get a backup strategy and stick to it if you don't have one [url]http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/switcher-hangout/245794-official-backup-faq-start-backing-up-now.html[/url] Hope everything turns out well for you.
