Mostly
pen drive doesn't consist any security measures. Since we use Pen drive in many
PC/Laptops it very easily gets infected with viruses and
malwares.
We can easily get rid of these Malwares by
scanning it with any good updated Antivirus (no need of Format as it leads to
Data loss).
Problem arises when we try to access our data
stored in the pen drive.
When we check property of the USB Drive, Disk
usage shows there are files in the pen drive but inside pen drive we can't find
any!!
Rather we are left with some Shortcuts
sometimes.
Don't worry All the files are
safe only they are made Hidden by the virus.
To unhide your files and folders follow these simple steps:
1)
Open command prompt:
(Win 7 & vista)
:
start->cmd (in search) ->
open
It is better to open cmd as
administrator:
right click the cmd icon (from
search)->-> run as administrator(give admin password if required,
else use normal run)
(Win xp users) :
start -> run
-> type cmd -> Ok
command prompt will open now.
2) Check Drive Letter of you pen drive
from 'My Computer'.
For example, If it is
labelled as "e: drive"
-> type 'e:' hit enter
now pointer location will go to the
drive.
3) type this command and hit enter
:
attrib -r -s -h *.* /s
/d
Hurray, all your files and
folders are visible to you now!!
