I have a 1g external hard drive and I just rebooted my computer and now I can't access the drive as it informs me that the files are write protected.

I have to assume that somehow the file attributes on the hard drive have been changed, not allowing them to be viewed. Try this:


To Unhide files Enter this from a command prompt assuming "g" is your external drive letter

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

Go to explorer to see your files
