The problem appears to stem from erratic behavior by my new external hard drive, a 2TB G-Tech G-Drive (Gen 6). I discovered that it wasn't always making itself available to LR; in fact, it wasn't always accessible to work with my computer at all. Some times when I attempted to open it up by clicking on its icon on my desktop, it would not open or when it finally did after a very long delay, it would display an empty drive, will all of my photo files missing. So when it finally did come back online, I transferred all of my LR photo files back to my internal drive, using LR to do so even tho it took much longer than using the OS finder. But I plan to replace it as my internal drive doesn't have enough capacity to house large photo folders.
