I have a 1TB toshiba external Hdd and I tried copying some movies from it to the pc and then to my phone - I have lots of movies and wedding pics and all other saved but when I plugged it to the computer it showed me scanning was complete but I couldn't see my files and folders(it was blank as if there's nothing saved in the hdd). I then decided to plug it into a pc with internet and antivirus and I saw one file was scannin meaning my files can be seen but I'd have to completely scan each file/folder one after the other. I need those folders so I'm wondering what it is I should do to fix the problem?

To unhide data.

Check if the files are not in hidden mode.

Click on "Start" -->Run --> Type cmd and press Enter.

Here I assume your drive letter as G:

Enter this command.

attrib -h -r -s /s /d g:\*.* --> Press Enter

You can copy the above command --> Right-click in the Command Prompt and

paste it.

Note : Replace the letter g with your drive letter.

Now check your drive for the files.
