Solve : locked files on harddrive? |
|
Answer» HI recently a friend gave me a HARDDRIVE with some files on it, some video , some picture, some documents, etc. It worked fine and I played the video on my TV media player box by plugging the harddrive in unfortunately one of the video files now fails to show on the media player when I have a look on the computer the file shows but as a locked folder which can't be deleted it says new year party.avi now it show as a folder, this has happened before on several computers with several harddrives one of them did it to half the contents on the harddrive video and otherwise. The files can not be scanned after this by any scanning SOFTWARE they are noted as invalid directorys that dont exist or are compressed, whats strange is that it always starts of with a file a INDIVIDUAL file and turns into a invalid locked directory, wierd hay?. Do you know what this problem is, a friend reckoned it may of been a virus but it has happened so many times on so many computers with so many different virus scanners I don't think their is enough odds of that anymore , if you can help that would be great and sorry to the administrator if this is in the wrong section its a confusing subject and I'm not sure where to put it. Note: I am yet to try the harddrive on my windows 8 system.Never MIND I worked it out its a WDTV flaw. |
