I dont know what happened to my hard disk. when i plugged it to my pc. the partition is looking empty and it has been renamed to Local Disk. but i have over 166GB data in it and status says that 166GB is used then why it is not visible. I am very sure that the folders are not hidden and i have set show hidden files and folders.
