I’m looking for some help to retrieve inaccessible or invisible files from my external drive.
It’s been working fine but all of sudden most of my folders and files are invisible but my disk management/property still shows that I have 220GB used out of 930GB but I can only see 100GB worth folders/files … other 120GB of files are there but not able to see nir access them anymore.
I have already performed basic repairs (defrag, disk error check, etc) but I just can not locate those invisible folders/files.
My pc is running on Window7.
Can someone help us retrieve this inaccessible folders/files, please?
