Hi,
You mentioned that "No files are appearing but if i see properties of that drive it showing the size of files which were he copied earlier".
Before we come to any conclusion please check the attributes of the file I mean whether it is hidden. Try selecting the option "View all files" and then check if the files show up if they dont then we can decide the further course of troubleshooting.
Thanks & Regards Sandip C Sali
all the ways veryfied
ya as u said that i checked the attributes
and also i checked the hidden status
even if click show all hidden files also still no files are appearing
Could you go in command
Could you go in command prompt and run a dir command in that directory. Let us know if that shows you the files.
If it does, then try to copy the files to a different location using command prompt.
If its an issue with permissions, or hidden attribute set for those files these symptoms can occur.

i cked in command prompt also
even i checked in command prompt also
but no use, from command prompt also only the size is appearing
like these many files are there, this size of files but what are all those files what is those files names it appearing
so plase tell me is it any other issue?
on command prompt check dir
on command prompt check
dir /ah
this will display all hidden files and directory.
From google you can download RRT tool and check to unhide hidden folders.
in command prompt use
in command prompt use command
e:\>attrib -a -r -s -h
and see the e drive. virus may have changed your file attribute to hidden.
