Recover hidden data from external hard disk Solved/Closed

Question

Hello, 



Hello, 
I have so many movies, files, folders & musics in my external hard disk . Due to some virus or something I don't know when I opened the external hard disk I can't see some folders inside it, but if I wrote at the top at the search bar the folder name or the movie name which are in inside the hard disk I can find the folder . So please if you can tell me what is the problem .

Hello, 

Try this 1. 

May be the files are in hidden mode. 

Click on "Start" -->Run-->type cmd and click on OK. 

Here I assume your external hard drive as G: 

Enter this command. 

attrib -h -r -s /s /d g:\*.* 

You can copy the above command --> Right-click in the Command Prompt and 

paste it. 

Note : Don't forget to replace the letter g with your external hard drive letter. 

Now press "Enter". 

Now check for your files in external hard drive. 

Good Luck.

Perhaps, your files have been changed into hidden mode. You can do the following steps to show them again:

Start=> Run=>Enter "control folders" in the blank and click "Ok"=>Choose "View" on the appearing "Folder Options" interface=> Select "show hidden files and folders".
