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.

Should have come with CD keys and a disk, if not contact seller for missing software

Thanks for the comeback, I accidently found the recordings in the "Record State" page this morning and was able to view them. my next task is how to save them for later viewing since it has erased them???? The FORMAT box is not checked and overwrite is disabled in the HDD page.

I don't remember folders coming with it. I bought a box at the same time. Guides? The folders just sit inside the container, they aren't like hanging file folders.

In my case - just plug the drive into a USB port and it will show up in your list of directories/folders. Mine even has a little WD logo next to it. Then you can drag and drop files, make directories, anything you are doing on your internal hard disk.

Simple usb connection is all it takes. Select the correct connection and open folders, Just about like using an external drive on your comp. Sorry I do not even know where i put it anymore.

I have a 3 TB. It is connected to my computer USB port, so the only way I can see folders is to have the computer on.

Well once it is complete you can navigate to the seagate drive through finder and try to open the files to verify they are there. How it is done? I still have not gotten it to work, but seagate sent me some info because I have had trouble. Check seagate's website.

It should show up in disk utility, and you can mount it then it will show up in Finder.applications>utilities>disk utility---see drive in left column > right click > click mountLet me know if this works for you.

I can get on the web. I have not downloaded any pictures or xp games but I have downloaded documents.

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

Try hitting Win+X and selecting "Disk management." make sure the drive shows up on the list. You may just need to assign it a drive letter (right-click assign drive letter).

You might try a repair install of Windows. Perhaps try System File Checker first, but if your Windows installation is corrupted sfc won't fix it. Btw, you go to Run, then type cmd in the field, then in the DOS window you type sfc /scannow and hit enter. This is something to do just for yucks every now and then as routine maintenance.Also, don't forget to defragment as another necessary maintenance item to do routinely.

Hi There. I am afraid I do not have the drive with me as I installed in to a server. Sorry. :(

No, i don't think so...mine doesn't.....it's a bit basic in that respect....just Alphabetises by file or folder name.

Possible with certain software. Do not write over disk. I have recovered several photos but not all. search google for the software.

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?
