Hello,
A friend of mine who he a DJ/Karaoke was building his music collection, which took him many months. He had recently switched over from an old system to a digital system managed by a Laptop running Windows 8.1.
He had downloaded Karaoke from various sources (YouTube and PlayOnMusic.com), being two of these sources. He used a YouTube downloader that has since expired. The songs did play when they were downloaded.
He downloaded these songs, MP3s, MP4s, and some .avi's to a 16 GB pen drive when he ran out of room. He then cut and pasted (not copied) these files to the C drive of the laptop and then onto a 32GB pen drive. He may have used the cut and paste method (not copy/paste) to transfer to the 32GB drive.
His pen drive shows about 367 files and the total of those files are miniscule compared to what the drive is capable of holding. The drive space shows used space over and above the amount of space that the 367files are using. We cannot see the additional files. I have tried the DOS command to un-hide files on this drive and also used the selection in Windows to show hidden files, nothing has worked. We have also ran Mal-Ware Bytes and deleted what it may have found.
He inserted the original flash drive (16 GB) from where he transferred these files and we are only seeing XML files...
How can see these files and/what is taking up the additional space? He spent months doing this and 367 files are OK, but the rest have disappeared. What could have happened? He only has a couple of weeks until his show.:(
I don't know how to help him from here! :(
Both drives are FAT 32.
