Can Someone Help With Retrieving Hidden Content From Flash Drive by Nobody: 6:06pm On Aug 25, 2012
Please house, can somebody help? I have this flash drive of 8 gigs where I stored information in folders. The problem is that some of these folders are hidden while a few are displayed. Total capacity still indicates 8 gigs while the displayed content is much less than 1.6gigs. The hidden ones can only be accessed when I search and that is for those whose name I can remember. Is there any way of getting these folders back into display again?

Download WinRAR.
Browse the flash from the software, nothing will be hidden.

Hidden files on a flash drive is caused by antivirus deleting an already infected file on the flash. if you have not formatted the flash after the vanishing of your file, what you need to do is recover your files using recovery software's. If you need a recovery tool with Licence pls call 08056052229 0r 08035017009. geo2287@yahoo.com. it can be sent to you via mail

If you use Windows 7
1. Click the Window button and type "cmd" (without the inverted commas)
2. Right-click on CMD and select "Run as administrator". This will get you pass the "access denied".
3. Continue with the steps as posted by
