I've WD 1 tb usb 2.0 external drive. I've data around 900gb. It connects proper with PC. But when i go inside it just shows 2 folders like .fseventsd and .trashes and some other files like .alias and DS_store.
What's a issue with drive?

Hey dharmeshkb. What OS are you using? If it's Windows you could try this (with your external drive NOT connected).

1. Open up Computer
2. Click the "Tools" bar and select "Folder Options"
3. Select the "View" tab
4. check the "Show hidden files, folders and drives" option
5. uncheck the "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)" option
6. connect your external drive

Here's another "extended" version of this solution which might help: http://www.sevenforums.com/system-security/310758-external-hard-disk-has-data-but-does-not-show-when-opened.html

Hope that helps.
