I copied a bunch of directories onto a DVD disc (4+ GB worth) to move
them from one machine to another. Didn't pay much attention while
making the disc. When I went to copy them off the DVD to the new
system, I could only see ~6 of the 20+ directories that should have
been there. While annoyed, I decided to copy what there was, and then
go back to get the rest.
I did a "Select All", then dragged the block of tagged directories
over to the hard disk on the destination machine. I was surprised that
even the directories I couldn't see and thought were missing showed up
in the Copying progress window. So they must be on the DVD after all.
But when I looked at the results on the hard drive, only the
directories visible on the DVD can be seen there. Neither explorer or
the DOS dir command can see the invisible ones. I have the Folder
Options set to "Show hidden files and folders." I tried "attrib -h *"
from the command line on the hard disk.
What's going on here?
