Ok, I have a hard drive with 500gb on it, when I access it, it only shows a couple of files, but when I look at the available memory, it shows almost nothing. Where are my files?

Hi Robi,

Without checking the drive i would say one of two options.

1) Your Drive was infected and the files are hidden. Fix: Either Show all your hidden files in the folder options or use a unhide file utility.
2) Your Drive is failing and the data is corrupt. Fix: Depends if your adventurous and want to try recovering your data yourself. If you are there are a few options.

How do I do that?

you can use a program called unhide its made by bleeping computers

DH Data Recovery · « **Reply #9 on:** July 24, 2012, 11:50:59 PM »

or you can show hidden files by going into folder options which is in control panel, then go to view and select show hidden files and folders

Something like this should do the job, I just wish I could find something like it (which is reasonably priced) from a reputable vendor, as I'm afraid to trust it with my data.

Asher - you can get something similar from newegg - its made by rosewill and they are a pretty good company. If you need something specific I will search later and send you one of the models I've used in the past. In general however only use these hard drive connectors if you don't have any issues with the hard drive. If your drive is acting up I don't recommend using these - even though they sometimes work - USB isn't the way to connect a bad drive. Most USB devices today run off a chip Chinese chip and that's not recommended when working in a bad or dying drive

Precisely why I stated I'm looking for a reputable brand, even for healthy drives. So you would or wouldn't recommend the Rosewill ones for reliability?
