Hi,
Thanks1
- Go to Command Prompt.
- Change the directory to your external drive (say J:\)
- Type J: (at the prompt)
- Then, you'll see that the drive of operation has changed
- Now, type
attrib -s -h /s /d *.*
- Open the drive in a new Window Explorer
- Check for autorun.inf and remove it. (You could scan the drive to remove it)
- Your folders now appear in one folder.
- Open that folder to recover your data.
Thanks1
Thank you very much for the advice!
I had the shortcut virus on a stick, I cleaned it with Mcafee but the files were no longer visible, although the "properties" showed that the stick was 80% full (which was correct). I did what you said and it worked. However, for dummies (like myself!), it were (maybe) better if you said to type
attrib[space]-s[space]-h[space]/s[space]/d[space]*.*
Again, a big THANK YOU!
