When i use this great link to access backed up files in my MyBook Essential hard drive, the backed up files and folders show their file names but there is no content. Their size is 0Kb.

I had stored the data from a a Toshiba laptop and I am trying to access them to retrieve to a new Lenovo laptop.

Could anyone help please?
