Win XP MCE 2005 suddenly is unable to "see" the contents of my music storage
folder on a Maxtor external hard drive connected by USB, instead showing the
folder in Win Explorer and in My Computer as being empty. Once in a while it
shows the contents when I open Win Explorer, but usually not. Running
checkdisk doesn't help. Thanks.
 
I don't know the answer but when the folder is empty, what does the folder
show when you right click it and select properties? I assume it shows there
are files in the folder. Are there other files on the external drive that
show up when the music files do not? When the files are there, have you
tried transferring them to a new folder?
