One of my hard drives isn't showing any files. It's a drive full of just media files, and is connected via SATA to my computer. Connecting it via USB to another computer didn't make any of the files show up either. Windows 7 did state there was a slight problem with the drive recently, and I agreed to let it fix it (I had a similar message with another drive recently too - but that one's fine now). Initially I noticed problems when I couldn't play back some of the media files in Windows Media Player.
The drive letter shows up in Explorer, and it shows the amount of hard drive space used, but again, but none of the files are showing up. When I do select to show hidden files, a few folders do show up (and I think these were generated when I did the quick fix), but I can't access any of those. In Disk Management, it takes forever for the drives to show up when this bad drive is connected. In command prompt, when I run the "dir" command for this drive, none of the files show up either.
So it is strange that it is allowing me to access the drive somewhat, and is showing the amount of space used, but I can't see any of the files I want to on it. How would I go about fixing this?
