Missing Information

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.....

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?

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