Mybook live 1TB not showing pictures

I have had this drive for over a year and just recently it decided to not show me my pictures. Heres what is happening. I have the drive partitioned into several other drives… A drive B drive etc. I have access to all the shares. My work photos are stored on the P drive/share. I have access to it. When I click on the folder that has the pictures in it, I can see the list of pics. 1.jpg 2.jp etc. with the default pc picture icon. It does not show my a thumbnail of the photo. I have to click and open each photo to see what the photo is.  When I first open the folder the pictures load… and some are shown as a thumbnail and some are not… as they all “load” they all go back to the default pc icon.

please advise.

This is what it looks like…
