Brothers problem this time
He has some folders on his External HD stuff like photos, games, that he knows had stuff in them but now the HD wont let him gain access to them.
Any ideas on how to get into them ?
Its funny because it is letting him into some folders like his music on
We tried hooking his drive to my pc with th same results

mikkh: I guess the Christmas countdown is on for real now that December has started and a new year not that far away either. I think I'm leaning more towards bah humbug than happy holidays, but enjoy it. Dec 1, 2024 11:32:50 GMT

mikkh: It was pretty easy with the help of vapes, which I've dabbled with for years but never really stuck to full time - till now. One bad habit for another maybe, but I feel healthier and it's definitely a lot cheaper. Nov 21, 2024 7:45:12 GMT
