| 1195823 | 2011-04-20 05:34:00 | Bought a new large capacity flash drive to store all my photos on and was checking back on my progress when I noticed the folders had transferred but the contents are showing as empty. I know they are there, but hidden as one of my photo programmes can find and display them. When I go to the removable drive in the computer, the properties show the GB capacity that has been used, but I cannot get the drive to open and display the contents on my Vista operating system. Have tried the same on my Win7 laptop, but same again, only the folders are displayed, not the individual photo files? Thanks for any help - - - |

| 1195824 | 2011-04-21 01:41:00 | Have you tried "unhiding" (or just enabling View Hidden Files and Folders in Folder Options) the files? Also, is it a name brand flash drive or a no-name "Mighty Dragon"-type brand? The reason I ask is sometimes the no-name brands do funny things (i.e. indicate higher capacity than what they actually have, etc. etc.) | mookster1 (15854) | ||
| 1195825 | 2011-04-21 04:44:00 | go to your command propmt (cmd.exe), and type in the following: attrib -h -r -s /s /d (?):\*.* replace the '(?)' with your drive letter without the brackets. That should help |

| 1195826 | 2011-04-21 15:06:00 | I hope you're not intending to store all your photos on there as the only copy of them. Flash drives have a habit of getting lost or randomly failing. Make sure you have a backup somewhere. Personally, I'm uploading the lot to Flickr, since Telecom gives me a free Pro account ;) |
