External Drive has been repaired and is called like another SD card i have.

I've Repaired my external drive with disk repair on my mac. I'm a photographer and use different SD cards. Now after repairing it and plugging my External drive back in i see that it's now called like an sd card and my External drive of 2TB is now according to my Mac a 32GB SD card...

Does somebody have this too or can somebody help me?

My photos are stil accessible in Lightroom like nothing happened.

(Sorry for my English)

Can you just rename it? It should be pretty easy. Just click on the name and you should be able to type a new one. Or "Get Info" for the drive icon an you should be able to rename in "Name & Extension" or whatever is the equivalent in a different language.

This could be an easy solution but it completly changed my drive info. So my SD card is 32GB and is called Nikon D600 (My camera). My drive is the WD Passport 2TB and now it's both called D600 and my Passport drive is according to the info 32GB, which it's not.
