Quick background. I run win7 x64 pro. Have a Seagate 4tb external USB3 with all my photo/Lightroom work.
Previously, I tried the Win10 preview on a separated SSD. I physically detached my win7 drive, and installed the win10. Now that 10 has released I want to try again and install the release version. Same procedure, switched out start-up drives, but this time the Seagate would not show up.
After switching back, again it would not show up under 7. Ran DISKCHK (both via properties/tools, and CMD prompt CHKDSK /R: was able to get it up and running after 24 hour scan. CHKDSK did not report anything bad?
Now I'm missing groups of files and folders. Example on the R drive (Seagate 4tb) a folder on the root ALEXA is completely missing. Then in a Folder: PHOTOGRAPHY: WEDDING lightroom reports half the files are missing. Literally the first half.
I don't believe it is the drive. Stupid me, I then thought lets boot into Win10, then have it CHKDSK my Win7 drive. Well that screwed up that drive a bit.
When back to Win7, clearly whole applications are gone LIGHTROOM PHOTOSHOP etc.
So much for Win10.
I believe the files are still there. I think the directories got screwed up by win10.
Any other options to get my files back? They haven't been overwritten.
It seems like those files and folders most recently added to the drive are missing. Older folders are in tact.
Any advice
Crazy.
Thanks
Maxi
Someone told me to run
f:attrib -s -h /s /d (but I don't know what that does?
