iMovie - Problem with external drive showing up twice
iMovie 7.1.4
iMac 10.8.5
There's only one external hard drive - per attached screen shot.
How do I fix this?

what options does right clicking give you ?
Exit iMovie.
From the Finder's"Go" Menu: Type /Volumes/ within Go to the folder:
From there you will see your Hard Drive, any currently mounted servers/disks and aliases to old disks. Select any/all aliases that don't apply and throw them away.
Open iMovie. Should show only valid drives.

Re: ultralites comment (thanks!)
I had tried your advice. "Volumes can't be found" (see screen shot). Perhaps I should highlight the drive I'm having problems with before I type "volumes"?

needs the slash before and after: /Volumes/

So now that I see both "E" drives...here's my thought? Delete a whole drive? What if it wipes all the information out on that drive? All my family pictures? Is there a way I can test this without committing to a delete?
Any REAL drive will have the eject button next to it.
You should only delete the drives that are using an aliased icon.
Any/all alias icons will have a curled-up bottom left edge or an arrow.

Both drives have the eject button (see screen shot).
When I expand the drives, they both have the same contents.

After a disconnect and reconnect to "Ranier", I see only one E drive - both in Finder and iMovie. Thanks for your help - it's very much appreciated!
