Thanks Ben for those tips there! Very helpful!
So it turns out that upon closer inspection the sample libraries vanished from that external disk I mentioned, or perhaps were never fully copied over, although last night they appeared to be there. Who the heck knows....
In any case, thank God I have a back up of the libraries and am copying them over to a completely clean, unused, brand new seagate drive and am hoping all will be well once done.
Another thing I found was that the disk aforementioned actually did NOT have enough room on it to properly copy over all of the samples. My poor little exhausted and now irreparable drive that died on me probably couldn't take it anymore for having to deal with the sample tank libraries.
All in a day's effort for anyone working in a DAW.
I'm grateful for this forum. It's good to know that issues like this and many others can be effectively and efficiently addressed.
