    Hi,

    Got hit with some nasty malware yesterday and had to reformat my primary (operating sys) HDD. Back up to speed but explorer has problems reading my secondary HDD. (My) Computer shows an accurate capacity bar and if I give Run a direct path to a file I remember it can open it fine, but explorer shows the folder (e:\) as empty.

    I've tried Win7's checkdisk but it's not fixed it, any ideas?

    Embarrasingly, everything was just hidden.

    BACK TO WORK PEOPLE, NOTHING TO SEE HERE.

    I've seen that virus too. One of our users got it and it hid everything including the user profiles as well. Was a bit of a pain to unhide everything. :confused:
