My hard drive suddenly started doing this. Whenever I plug it in to my pc it shows that all my files are there within it but when I open the drive it shows only a couple of folders and I can’t access any of them either.
I have some really important family pictures stored in it that I need to retrieve urgently.
Have you tried connecting the drive to another computer or using a USB cable? Also, have you enabled “Show hidden files and folders” from the folder folder options?
I have tried connecting to other pc’s and mac’s. The drive is a connected only through usb cable. I hav tried another cable as as well. That doesn’t seem to work either.
