Its simple!!!! If u know the exact name of the folder, just type the directory in the address bar in my computer.. For eg. If the letter allocated to the drive is D, u type D:/(folder name) When it opens, cut all ur files to anoda location... Shikena |

Go back and insert the external drive, then open the external drive from the Computer icon, you will see a search bar by the right hand side, you can search based on alphabets (a-z) separately; it would return all files om the drive that starts with any of these alphabets. However, beware of your system because I guess it may be virus-infected. after backing up all your files on a PC, format the drive and copy every file once again. |

go and get the program "GetDataBack for NTFS" it works like magic, just install on your computer and use it to scan through the external drive. it will show you all the file and folders that has ever been copied on that drive. good luck 1 Like |

ask4double: So long as ur external hdd can still be detected on a pc u've got no issue, all files, both deleted and existing are still very much intact. U can simply recover these files using a software called "file scavenger". This software is a monster as regards recovering lost files and folders in good and healthy condition. OP? send me ur email and i will send you the above mentioned recovery software free of charge. yinkathomas@yahoo.com |

domack99: Four days ago, i was transfering a folder that contains movies on my External Hard Drive (Transcend 500GB) to a laptop (Window 7) and i notice that the process was taken more than usual, i tried all that i could to abort the procee but the time remaining kept on increasing. I also tried task Manager but that didn't work either, eventually i pull out the USB cable from the laptop and the task ended. I later found out that all the folders on the drive has disappearred leaving only item that were not in any folder.Try and run smadav antivirus on the drive. |

Try another recovery software. Recuva doesn't always do the best job. |

If u use the cut option on you system while trying to transfer the file, I am sorry your file is gone, but if you use copy u shouldn't have that kind of challenge. |

Check properties and if the size indicates the files to be there but u can't see them. Go to the directory tab an type the file path manually et E://folder/folder/work. U need to know the folder names. |

The system youre copying into most likely has a virus. Type this in command prompt: attrib -h -r -s /s /d e:\*.* Dont ignore the spaces. The letter 'e' in that syntax should be replaced with your hard disk's drive letter. I hope you find this helpful. www.pheegoh.com |

Recovery software works pretty different than user think and any wrong decision could make your files gone forever. EaseUS and TestDisk are OK, however their capabilities were limited and works only with perfectly normal drive. Where as, Drive with logical damages needs specialized recovery software that works in accordance and salvage all your files exactly in the state it was before deletion. You can find some good recovery programs from here : http://www.stellarinfo.com/disk-recovery.htm P.S. Stop using the drive and any software till you've not successfully recovered all your files. Remove the problem drive and connect it externally to perform recovery operation for smoother and better operation. |
