Missing Information

[jimigibbs]

I have a WD 2T Green Drive that I transferred files onto on a Vista PC to use on a Windows 8 PC. Window's 8 recognizes the HD and the folders but not the files (mainly mp3's and jpg's). It also shows he drive as almost empty. When I put it back in the Vista machine everything shows up fine..... I'm running the OS off a SSD and I did move the user folders to the WD HD but even stuff in non-user folders is not showing up. What am I missing?
Thanks,
Jimi

Correction: Not all of the folders I transferred over (after I set up the drive on the Windows 8 PC) are showing up on the Windows 8 PC.....

Is this NTFS ?

The files are invisible? or they just don't "work"? (for ones that show up)

Are the files encrypted? Have you tried replacing the Owner/File Permissions on the drive?

Do the files actually exist where you copied them from? or did you somehow copy links to the files?

Are the files encrypted? Have you tried replacing the Owner/File Permissions on the drive? No and No

Do the files actually exist where you copied them from? or did you somehow copy links to the files? Yes they exist

It is NTFS...... I reformatted the drive and am going to try again. Hope that helps. THANKS

Wait, did you upgrade from Vista to 8 ? That can be your problem right there. gl
