Hello,  

They are some folders like "System Volume Information",$recycle.bin  where the  

user don't  have access to it.  

For such folders "Access Denied" message will appear. So don't worry about it.  

Enter that command, wait for a while until the process get completed and then  

make sure that your files are removed from hidden mode.  

OR 

Try this 1

Click on Start --> In search box, type folder options and press Enter.    

[If you are using Windows XP then type folder options in Run and press Enter] 

"Folder Options" will be opened. Click on the "View" tab.    

Now select the option "Show hidden files, folders or drives" and uncheck the    

check box "Hide protected operating system files" --> Click on "OK" button.    

Now look for your files in your external drive.    

Later undo the changes you have made by once again going to "Folder Options"    

--> Click on "View" tab and click on "Restore Defaults" button --> Click on "OK".    

Good Luck
