hello splif 29,  open the folder where your file is located and do: "tools" > "folder options" > "view" and check the box "show hidden files..." > ok and search for your folder  see you later  -- **(show me the direction and I will find the way by myself.)**

Thank you for getting back to me. I tried what you told me: checking the display of hidden folders, but it still doesn't work; it says "ACCESS DENIED". Is there another way to recover my folder?  PS: When I right-click on my folder and then "properties," it shows 0 bytes used, even though I know there are about 10 GB used...   PLEASE, HELP ME!

To clear your mind, switch to console mode and type ex f:/dir (if your drive is recognized as f)  you will see all your folders if they are there  if you see them, it's good, you can recover them or in (DOS console mode) copy and paste  for example in DOS  copy the files and directories  xcopy *.jpg d:\example\ /s/y

Hi, splif 29, go to Explorer, and click on "tools/folder options", go to the "view" tab and uncheck the last box at the bottom: "use simple file sharing (recommended)". Then when you return to your directory, right-click and go to the security tab. I don't remember exactly the menus afterwards (it's been a while since I've done it) but you have the option to assign yourself the directory by making yourself the new owner. One piece of advice if you don't want to have the problem anymore: once you've claimed it, go to the security tab and in the permissions, add the user group "everyone". Hope this resolves your issue, see you later!

Okay, thanks, I'll give it a try. However, I don't know what the "console" mode is.

Hello, I need help. I had a laptop that stopped working, so I decided to recover the components that were still usable, including the hard drive. I bought a case for that famous hard drive, and now it acts like an external hard drive. My PC recognizes it correctly, but my problem is that it's a maximum 40 GB hard drive. I had used about 30 GB to store movies, music, and quite a few other things. When I check the used space, it really corresponds to what I had used, but I cannot find my files. What can I do? THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP IT'S A XP HOME

Hello everyone,  This morning I couldn't start my PC (black screen with a repetitive beep), so I reinstalled Windows XP Pro without formatting the PC. Now I can restart my PC, but I can't find my old files. When I check the remaining space on my hard drive, it shows the same as before the reinstallation: is there a way to recover these files???  Thank you for your help.  Lulu56.
