If u know the name of the file or folder, then use SEARCH to get it.
NB: don't forget to check the "search hidden files" in MORE ADVANCED option.

@thweraja10, thank u


*UPDATE*

the system is partitioned, the said files are in the secondary partition. I format the primary partition with windows7 and i was able to view the files.

But there is still a challenge, all file name turned green and i'm unable to access them.

Any ideas?
