Hi,

My seagate 1tb external hard drive has decided to mess me about and say that the files are no longer in the location even though I can see them all there in the folders, I cant access them or move them etc, anyone know how I can get to my files?

thanks
Wes

You could try checking the disk for errors;

Right click drive in my computer and select properties

Jinksy, thanks for your help today, but I managed to install and run testdisk which couldn't repair the drive but has allowed me to copy all my files to a new location, so that's lucky! ;-)
