I have an external hard drive partitioned into 3 partitions. In one of the
partitions I have a folder that has my video files in multiple folders. I
can access the main folder but no other folders show under that folder
although they are there. When I check the properties of the Partition it
shows the space being as being used not empty.

Is there any way that I can have these video folders show under the My Video
Files main Folder? Any help appreciated. I know they are there and I would
hate to lose them.

Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Hello, Phil B.
What happens when you bring up a command-line, navigate to that
external drive, and enter "dir"?
Do those 'missing folders' show up then?
