Hello,
I am trying to access my USB drive, and it is saying that it is write protected and it won't open the files. It shows that I have used 7GB of data, even shows the folders, but when you open the folder it says empty. I was on another site that said to use a DOS prompt to copy the files, but it only copied a portion of the USB card, the important info I need is not copying over. How do I access the folder, copy it and have access again to the drive?

- Open a new text document on the flash drive
- Enter the following code in the text document:
attrib -s -h -r /s /d
cls
exit
- Click File - Save as and then save it as "unhide.bat"
- Close and delete the new text document
- Make double click on the "unhide" batch file and then a the black screen of command prompt console will pop up and disappear
Hope this helps.
