Hi all
Last week had to get a new laptop as broke the other one, last one was an HP pavilion running windows 7 pro and this one an HP envy running windows 8.1.
Now the problem being that I took the had out of the old one and now using it as a portable drive in an enclosure, its working great other than I can access my pictures folder and by that I mean its missing not there.
I have run a scan on it and no errors found which I didn't think there would be as its been fine. I can get into everything else like videos, windows, program files and so on but still the pictures folder is missing.
I do recall on my old laptop that the pictures folder did have a padlock symbol on it if that helps, I'm positive that the photos are still there as the memory taken up is the same to what I remember.
Please could anyone give me some guidance as to how to recover the folder but as I stated the rest of the hdd seems to be perfectly fine.
Regards
Stuart
