  you can try deleting your database files from your omfi folder. It’ll rebuild em for you.
  If that no worky, try dragging a clip from the drive in question to the drive that is workin fine and ensure it’s not the clip(s). This will help ya hone in on the problem.
  As a last resort, I have had luck just renaming my current OMFI folder and letting avid create a totally new one for me next time I capture. In theory, this is the same as killin’ your database files as you’ll be bringing your media files back over to it but I have had luck here where deleting database files did not work.
