I'm not very experienced with Terminal but I'd be happy to paste some code in to restore permissions if you think it'd work. Methods I've been wanting to try would be to restore the permissions on the drive. I'm sure not all of that is indexing space. You should know that when I select the drive in Disk Utility it does seem like my data is there. Other times it says read and write so I'm confused. There may be a problem with permissions, for example when I click Get Info it sometimes, and I emphasize 'sometimes', shows that I can only read, not write. I obviously don't want to lose the images so I didn't format it, and i can't back it up if I cant copy over the files to another drive (because I can't even see them). It then immediately told me to backup and format the drive. I tried Verifying and Repairing in Disk Utility but both came up with an error about the B-Tree node being invalid in size or something. When i open the external drive in Finder I can see some folders but all of these folders have invisible contents, as in, when I click to open the folders the drive opens it but then starts to whirr and make sound and nothing shows up even though there would normally be around 6000 photos organised by date into separate date folders. I also have a WD 3TB external hard drive with Firewire and USB. I have a MacBook Pro with Lion installed version 10.7.5.
