I have a problem with my external (2TB) hard drive. I saved some school documents on my drive. When I got to the school computer to copy my home task, I copied & pasted, then I noticed all my folders went missing, except ones that were not in the folder. I still have my used memory, but can’t see my folders. Please help me!
I ran CMD and try to H:\>attrib -h -r -s /s /d i:*.* but got:
Access denied – I: \autorun.inf I:\Thumbs.db
What should I do? When I check the drive’s properties it shows almost 7.gb data saved, despite me being unable to see any files!
Please give advice soon,
Thanks
attrib -h -r -s /s /d i:*.*

Make sure you are running the command from an elevated command prompt
Search for cmd in the start menu
right-click "Run as administrator" on the cmd.exe
I would also suggest to scan the external drive (as well as your system) with an up to date anti-virus. School computers allowing free access to USB connected devices are always vulnerable to get and spread infections ~ some which may very well hide your drives content.
