external hard disk mac / partition PC

[hurricane_nurse]

Hi Everyone,

I would be very glad if sameone would be so kind to help me -very urgently- with the following issue:

My WD external hard disk has been used on a Mac with a window partition - I named same folder that I maily used on the Mac with same symbols / special characters (e.g: *folder name*) this folders when I'm working in the window partition do not show up in my hard disk content list but then they used to show up on the Mac partition. For same reason my WD external hard disk has now decided not to show up anymore on Mac - I already tried all the methods listed on this forum - but it show up and is accessible from my Windows partition and in Recovery mode. The problem is: I need to use the folders that used to only be visible on Mac ( the ones with the following *folder name*) but they are not visible on windows even if everything is already unhidden. Can samebody help me? many thanks in advance to everyone

Boot off a Linux Live disk and see if you can then use that operating system to rename the folder where Windows can use it.
