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".
it's ok when I uncheck the check box "Hide protected operating system files" but when I check the box again everything goes to hidden status too. how to solve it?
Was having a miserable weekend all my files missing from computer - got new storage backup device and must have grabbed files and hidden them. The above allowed me to see them.
