I'm trying to import 720/24p footage from P2 files I have stored on two separate Hard Drives. Everything works fine, except I cannot view the footage in the import Panasonic P2 window.

It’s has only done this with two of my Hard Drives that I have been using for this Doc I’m shooting (only recently, it was working when I viewed some footage just a couple of days ago).

I tried another Hard Drive I’ve got my friends P2 footage on and his clips are viewable. But why not mine all of a sudden?

It does show me the thumbnails and I can import fine apparently, but I would like to be able to view the footage before importing. Any help out there? Thanx

I'm in 5.1.4
 
Yes, everythings in order, like I said, this was working just a couple of days ago while I was just viewing some footage. All of a sudden yesterday I can't preview anymore in the P2 Import, but only on these two Hard Drives I have the P2 files saved on. My friends Hard Drive has P2 files from his film and I can view those with no problem.
 
Ok, that worked. Now, I just remembered one thing I did differently when I viewed (tried to view) the P2 files from the two separate Hard Drives which may have caused this. I daisy chained the two, this is the first time I tried that with these two (OWC Mercury HD, 800GB). That’s when the trouble started, so now what’s my option? Do I have to transfer all of my P2’s over to another hard drive and reformat, which would take forever (two 800GB HD’s). Or is there a simpler way to do it? I really appreciate the help on this matter. Thanks
