Hi all - Not sure what I did but under folders, the drive I always use (DM-Primary) , and the drive that has all of my photos is only showing 56 of my 17k+ photos and then underneath, there is an "E" drive with all of my photos folder. There is no "E" drive on my computer anywhere and when I right click to find the missing folder (Which is on my "D" drive) I am getting this error message: an internal error has occurred : ?:0 attempt to index field "?" (a nil value) Here is a screen shot of my panel - any help would be greatly appreciated!

Which folder are you right-clicking on? And does that error message appear immediately, or do you see the right-click context menu first?

I am right clicking on my photos folder with the? Under the E drive and it’s giving me options and I am selecting “find missing photos” and then I get that error message… Thanks

I assume you mean you select "Find Missing Folder", yes? And does that error message appear immediately, or do you see a file browser window open first (which is what should happen)?
Do you have a reasonably up-to-date catalog backup? Reason for asking is I suspect there's something wrong with your current catalog, as I have never known that error message to appear when just trying to select the Find Missing Folders message.

I tend to agree with Jim. One other thing you may want to change your LR backup preference to "every time Lightroom Exits" and then close LR. when the backup dialog pops up, check both the "test integrity" and "optimize catalog" boxes and let LR perform those operations and take a backup.
