Hard Drive Not Showing Files

Solution
Hi there Nathaniel_15,

Make sure you adjust your options and show hidden files: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/14201/windows-show-hidden-files
In case the issue persists, you can attach the drive to another computer.

If even this doesn't help, I believe you can boot Ubuntu from a flash drive or a CD, navigate to the HDD, back up all the data, switch back to Win and reformat the drive afterwards.
