Hello,
Good Luck
- Make sure that the files are not in hidden mode.
- Click on Start --> In search box, type control folders and press Enter.
- [If you are using Windows XP then type control folders 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
