I was importing photos to iPhoto last night when i accidentally kicked out the cord to my external HDD.

iPhoto is on my external drive. On relaunch, all my photos were gone. When I open package contents all the original files are there but they are not showing up in iPhoto. I have 32Gb in the Original Files folder in iPhoto.

So I tried just dragging across the Original Files folder into iPhoto to reimport the photos. Strangely, the space on my Macintosh HDD seems to disappear as this is happening. I do not have 32Gb of free space on my Mac HDD hence using the external.

Please help me out as I am making a slideshow for a party this Friday, and I am very attached to my photos! Thanks!!
