| Post subject: | Tip to get back folders after Windows checks your HD |
I just had a problem today where after a reboot and turning the external HD back on Win7 said it needed to scan the drive for errors and if it found any those files and folders would be moved. After the scan I noticed my clips folder was empty and thought it was lost. Turned out that the error checker moved the folder into a hidden folder. The problem was Win7 said I did not have permission to access the folders. Doing a search I found the answer to get back the files. First you need to make sure that system folders are set to be shown and not hidden. Next in windows 7 if you can find the folder in windows explorer, right click the folder that is saying access denied goto the security tab Hit continue select edit select Add type in everyone hit ok select everyone in the list check mark all check boxes at the bottom Hit ok It will give everyone the rights to access the folder. That worked for me. |
