Files Missing but Folders Appear: Are there any solutions to retrieving the files?
32461
I have the same problem. I also have not found a solution. I get a delayed write error and then all the folders etc are empty. I have searched for days for a solution (on mine, the contents ARE still there but aren't shown and can't be accessed unless there is a short cut on my desktop). If someone knows what to do, please help.

It wasn't viewable in any OS I tried all three,But the last solution here worked as I had to make new partition and quick format it and in this way it also gave it a drive letter.I did this on an XP machine and Now it worked.

You have to go to settings, then to file manager and there find the folder where your photos are located. Hope that helps.

Did you make a system recovery on a 16gb flash drive of your computer when you first received it? If so, insert it and reboot. It will bring the system back to when first purchased and it will have a old windows folder in your files, so you can recover what you had on the hard drive.

I'm not sure, I was also having the same problem on my old laptop but luckily my newer laptop was responding to the sd card & I transferred all files to a flash drive then uploaded it to my old laptop. You could email the pics directly. That's what I did when I was working with business partners.

More information please: OS? Steps you have taken (I.e. Have you unplugged the drive and restarted the computer, etc.) also, was the drive bring accessed when improperly ejected?

I'd be surprised if the camera was to blame. Try R-studio program to recover files if they are irreplaceable.

TreyHugger: This is normal with Macs and flash drives, moving deleted files to the Trashes folder on the same drive. It's a nice feature, but a little unexpected to a new Mac user, I agree.

I'd try the computer hookup to see all the files. Maybe there are some hidden in a music or other folder. When you find a solution, could you please post it? Just in case I run into the same problem down the line. thanks!

I haven't looked for any and I haven't just come across any either. You may be able to find someone on CL that has the CDs but a lost/broken player.

Hi Lori,You say you're unable to view anything on the drive but its recognized. Could you explain this more fully? Do any folders show up on the drive or anything?

There was software included, presumably a backup program. I formatted the disk and use time machine to do my backups.

I got this ages ago and had the same problem. I do remember thinking I only got a small part but tjem found it had been loaded into some weird file location on my computer. Somewhere in program files I think, instead of my download file. Ill look it up and write back when I'm on my computer in the a.m.
