Hi Guyz,
I recently installed Windows XP on my Windows Vista laptop and while doing so, my portable HDD was connected to the machine. Now XP didnt work out so I installed the Vista again. When I tried accessing a particular folder in the HDD, heres what happened:
1. The folder did not open
2. Windows Explorer hanged for some time
3. A pop up message was displayed saying "YOU NEED TO FORMAT THIS DRIVE"
When I tried accessing other folders, the HDD is working fine.
Finally after some time, I saw the properties of this folder and it is saying its a 0 (ZERO) byte folder while actually this folder is more than 20 GB in size. This is the same case with a couple of other folders which have more than 10 GB of data within them.
Now my question to you guyz is that is there any way that I can recover these folders by any chance? can you please post any step-by-step guide for the way/s to go about doing this.
Regards,
Amitsinh Thakur
