I believe this has to do with the paths that PP is looking for your scratch discs, but I’m mainly an FCP user lately, so I’m not up on all of the error mssgs.
Check your prefs, and see where PP is looking for your footage. I would disconnect the drive, reset everything in prefs to your main drive, open the project offline, then turn on the drives and reconnect the media to the external, then set your scratch discs to the external drive folders.
Again, I’m not up on the latest and greatest versions of Premiere, so anyone with more expertise in this area know?

I agree…for now, find another storage solution, and recapture media. Such a good thing you had that project saved on your internal drive! Freezer MIGHT work, but as they said, it isn’t a long-term solution.
Looking into the future….
Might be a good idea to invest in the largest and cheapest firewire HDD you can afford, and just make it a habit to back up all files immediately after you capture to a cheap external hdd, then set it on a shelf for just such eventuality….the 1TB MyBooks are very cheap at Costco!
OR look into RAID 5 either external drives (expensive) or if your motherboard already has that capability….might be cheaper to buy several internal drives and set up your own.
Also good to save projects once a week/month to a DVD or CD for archival purposes in case that internal drive fails.
Sorry man, best of luck!

Never mind, doesn’t look like Avid Free DV supports EDL exporting.
Maybe the Macbook Air would solve all of your problems.

Hmmm….maybe….
Could try Avid Free DV for Mac (They’ve discontinued the product, however, you might find it somewhere online), and see if you can export an EDL from there, which you’ll just re-import back into PPCS3. However, keep in mind that EDLs in PP limit you do one video track and two audio tracks. (Or the Avid Free may even export an AAF, but that I’m really not sure of.)

Welcome to the roaring river of Bluray.

Ah yes….so in other words…whatever you do whilest logging, DON’T CAPTURE ANYTHING in 720, otherwise your logs will go to that place in the clouds, where In and Out points play harps all day, followed by the sweet melodies of Reel numbers floating around.
Ahhh…tape #6’s logs are there now…..I can almost hear them singing……*sniff*
